Beginning October 1, 2025, the Town will be charging a convenience fee to cover the added cost of processing electronic payments, such as credit or debit cards. The fee offsets merchant processing fees charged by card companies. Please note that choosing to pay by card is optional. 

There is a convenience fee charged by the Town for using this service. This processing fee is charged in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes. This does not apply to billing statement payments made to Town of Wellington Municipal Utilities.

The fee schedule is as follows:

• Check or Electronic Check: No fee!
• Debit and Credit Cards: 3.00% of the transaction amount.

Why is there a 'convenience fee' for card payments?

Each time a person utilizes a credit card for purchases of goods or services, the credit card companies charge that entity a fee for the customer’s use of said card for that transaction. Most public entities like Towns, Counties, and States accept credit and debit cards as a courtesy, offering a convenient payment option to their customers. How they address the fees are uniquely individual to the entity, but increasingly over the past few years many municipalities have begun to pass this cost along to the customer to help offset the cost of offering this convenience and to reduce the operational expense burden on taxpayers.
