Fort Smith, Ark. – Beginning March 1, 2025, the City of Fort Smith will no longer cover transaction and processing fees for credit and debit card payments. Instead, these fees will be the responsibility of the payer at the time of the transaction.
Citizens can avoid transaction fees by using alternative payment methods, such as ACH, cash, or check. The City will continue covering ACH processing fees.
ACH is a secure and cost-effective payment method. Citizens can set up ACH payments online at Payit.FortSmithAR.gov or by contacting their bank.
Cash and check payments remain fee-free and can be made in person at 623 Garrison Ave or at one of the six dropbox locations: 619 North A St, 623 Garrison Ave, 3408 Jenny Lind Rd, 4701 Windsor Dr, 8100 Dallas St, and 8701 S 28th St.
