Town accepting
credit cards
The town of Gorham will now accept credit cards for payments.
A nonrefundable convenience fee will be applied to cardholders who wish to pay via credit card or debit card.
The town has accepted debit cards for payments in the past without a convenience fee. However, the fees charged to the town by the bank to process these transactions have steadily increased.
The fee will be disclosed at the time of the transaction payment and the cardholder given the option to decline the fee and make the payment via check or cash. The fee will be 2.45 percent of the transaction amount (with a $1.50 minimum) except for payments made with a Visa consumer check card, which will have a flat fee of $3.95.
