Peoria residents should be aware of a proposed increase in the credit card service fee. The City of Peoria has outlined a plan to adjust the fee to a uniform rate of 2.80%, with a minimum charge of $2.95, as stated in a recent public notice.
The City of Peoria is proposing a change that would apply a uniform credit card service fee of 2.80% with a minimum of $2.95 to all city services. Currently, payments for services like utilities and permitting already incur separate fees—utilities at 2.80% with a $1.95 minimum and permitting at 2.23% with a $1.00 minimum. Under the new plan, this fee structure would extend across additional city services, which will gradually be integrated into the new system.
As for when this proposal will come up for a decisive discussion, the Peoria City Council has slotted the topic into its agenda for a regular meeting to be held on March 25, at the Peoria City Council Chamber. The council will then make the call to accept, reject, or potentially modify the ordinance or resolution after deliberation.
