Utility Bill Payments - Notice of Fees
There are multiple ways to pay your Cooper City Utility bill. Please visit our payment methods page to see your options.
Credit and Debit Card Convenience Fee:
As permitted by FL Statute 215.322, a convenience fee equal to $1.50 per $50 is collected on all credit & debit card transactions made in-person, online or by telephone.
This fee is charged by the electronic processing company and Cooper City retains no part of any of the fee collected.
The minimum fee is $1.50.
E-Check Convenience Fee:
E-checks are accepted for a flat fee of $3 up to $10,000.
Customers paying via a bill-pay service (e.g. Wells Fargo, Check Free, City County Credit Union) will not be charged a convenience fee by Cooper City, being that the check will be mailed to the City by their provider. We ask that you please allow an additional 7-10 days for mailing.
*Cash, checks, money orders and cashier’s checks are accepted at no additional charge.
Late Fee:
Utility payments must be received by no later than 5 PM on your bill's due date in order to avoid a late fee of 6% or $20, whichever is lower in regard to the outstanding balance. Please note, payments left in any drop box will be posted to the utility account the following business day.
Returned Check Fee:
As permitted by FL Statute 68.065, the payee of a payment instrument, the payment of which is refused by the drawee because of lack of funds, lack of credit, or lack of an account, or where the maker or drawer stops payment on the instrument with intent to defraud, may lawfully collect bank fees actually incurred by the payee in the course of tendering the payment, plus a service charge in accordance with the following schedule:
$25 Fee - if the face value of the payment instrument does not exceed $50
$30 Fee - if the face value of the payment instrument exceeds $50 but does not exceed $300
$40 Fee - if the face value of the payment instrument exceeds $300; or 5 percent of the face value of the payment instrument, whichever is greater.
