Community Development Improves Payment Method
Port
Orchard, WA — Kitsap
County has announced an improved way to pay permitting fees beginning
February 11, 2009. “This brings us one step closer to complete online
permitting,” according to Larry Keeton, Community Development
Director.
The improved credit card processing method allows clients
to make payments remotely from the convenience of their home or office 24
hours a day, seven days a week using a secure internet site. Transactions
are processed by a third party agency, Official Payments Corporation, and
can be made with MasterCard, American Express, or Discover cards. VISA cards
are not accepted in this program. A transaction fee of 2.5% is added to the
total amount of the permit fees paid.
