City of Concord Now Accepts Credit Cards

The city of Concord collections office began accepting credit cards for payment of car registrations, tax collection, and utility bills, according to a press release this week.

At the time, only MasterCard and Discover are being accepted.

If you use a credit card to pay for the fees and bills, the city will tack on a 2.9 percent or $1.50 minimum transaction fee when using the credit card.

City officials and councilors have debated the issue a number of times but ultimately hesitated on implementing a credit card acceptance policy due to the cost of the fees passed onto the vendor by the credit card service.
