Online Payments

The online payment option is a convenience to allow customers to pay their utility bills via the internet by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express). For online Payments please visit: https://www.municipalonlinepayments.com/defuniakspringsfl. 

A convenience fee will be assessed as follows:

  • $1.25 plus 3% for online and over the phone transactions.

Credit card companies charge a fee to businesses or governments who accept their cards. The fee is based on the amount charged. Thus, accepting credit/debit cards is an additional expense. To offset the cost of credit card usage, Florida Law specifically provides for a convenience fee to be added to those transactions.

The City of DeFuniak Springs does not keep any portion of these fees.
