Credit Card Fees charged by municipality for paying fees with card (FAQ Government)

Answer

The town should review R.S. 33:2933, which states what fees may be charged for certain payments that may be made by credit and debit cards; authorizations; contracts; and fees, and to discuss with its legal counsel.

As long as the town complies with the provisions of R.S. 33:2933, it appears proper for a fee to be charged for use of credit cards to pay fines.
