Hidalgo County is
prohibited by law from paying the credit card processing fees incurred
when a taxpayer chooses to pay his or her taxes by credit card.
In order to provide this convenience, Hidalgo County has contracted
with a third party to provide computer programming, system integration,
and Internet hosting services. In turn, our vendor has to pay the "credit card
processing agencies" a percentage fee for each transaction. The minimum fee is $2.50 per $100.
The convenience fee appears as a separate transaction on your credit card
bill.
