Fort Smith, Ark. – Starting March 1, 2025, the City of Fort Smith will implement processing fees for payments made with credit and debit cards.
Previously, the City absorbed these transaction and processing fees.
Under the new policy, payers will be responsible for covering these fees at the time of the transaction.
The City will continue to absorb processing fees for ACH payments, which are promoted as the most secure and cost-effective payment method for City services.
Residents can set up ACH payments online at Payit.FortSmithAR.gov or by contacting their bank.
This change aims to manage costs more effectively while still providing convenient payment options for Fort Smith residents.
