Starting March 1, 2024, the City of Leesburg will begin charging a transaction fee for all utility payments made by electronic means.

Electronic processing fees will be encountered by customers for the following transactions:

ACH/eCheck utility payments will have a $1.00 convenience fee
Credit/debit card utility payments will have a $3.50 convenience fee
Utility customers can avoid the fees by using the auto-pay option linked to a checking or savings account, paying in person at City Hall with cash or a paper check or paying with cash at AMSCOT locations.
Fees = tax or way to run up bill.
