3% tacked on to the amount owed. I find this to be entirely contra to progress. And it's called a "convenience fee."
Here's a better business model - charge the actual price/cost/tax/fee and don't sneak in ticky tack fees like you're ticketmaster. Shame on City Hall.

FHH,
I know it abhorrent! I am just asking who is 'benefitting' from this cash flow....

To put it in perspective, if ALL Property Taxes were paid on-line, this 'convenience fee' would be worth $770,000 in additional revenue, or a 'hidden' a .5 mil increase of the tax rate .
Frame it how you will and word it how you want, but it looks like taxation without representation to me.....or

When a credit card is used, the City pays a commission to the card company which means that the net proceeds to the city do not equal the tax bill. Accordingly, the City requires individuals availing themselves of the credit card option to pay extra which allows the net yield to the City to equal the tax bill. One could argue that the City has mis-labeled this as a "convenience fee".
