For those navigating the bureaucratic maze of Nashville's building permits, a minor change aims to streamline the process. The Metro Government of Nashville and Davidson County recently switched up its credit card system for the ePermits payment platform. Now, when you're ready to finalize that permit application, expect to see a couple of changes affecting your wallet come statement time.
Breaking it down, what this means is that the convenience fee related to the permit payment will wave a goodbye from the total charge and will make an appearance as its own line item on your credit card bill. The folks over at Metro Government have slated the fee to show up under "Building and Trades," hopefully clarifying what that extra charge is doing there in the first place.
Continuing with the click of a button, those ready to part with their cash will find themselves whisked away to a third-party site, where personal and payment details await entry. It's a straightforward plea from Metro: Click that "Pay Now" button just once. Hold off on the refreshing and tab closing while your payment makes its electronic voyage. If patience isn't your strongest virtue, remember that a double-tap could lead to a double charge, and nobody has time for that.
In the event that your statement throws you for a loop, feeling charged incorrectly, the Metro team has your back. There's an email address—[email protected]—where your billing concerns can be aired out.
