The Town of Farmingdale is now accepting Credit/Debit cards for your purchases.  There is a cost to use your personal cards.  There will be a fee of $1 for up to a $40 charge and then 2.5% above $40.  That fee will be ADDED TO the payment.  For instance, if you pay a bill of $100, then you will pay a total of $102.50 for that convenience.  If this fee policy was not in place, then the Town’s cost would have to be absorbed by all taxpayers for the benefit of those people who use their cards.
