PDS accepts cash, checks (in U.S. Funds) and credit card payments. We are not able to take credit card payments over the phone. The credit card processing company does charge a transaction fee in addition to your permit fee. Credit card fees: Debit transactions $1.00; Credit transactions 2.35% of the total. (on small credit transactions there is a $2.00 minimum fee.) We are developing an online portal which will allow you to submit and pay your permit online--this should be live by early 2020.
