Fremont County customers can pay for vehicle registration renewals using credit and debit cards. The new payment option is available for over-the-counter, and online transactions through the Assessor's Office. "More and more citizens expect government entities to accept the same forms of payment as retail stores, "Hirschi said. "Paying by credit or debit card is a faster and more convenient option for many people." The county accepts any credit or debit card featuring a VISA, Master Card, Discover, or American Express logo. Previously, customers could only pay by cash or check. Since no tax dollars or county funds were used to develop and maintain the service, a 3% fee is added to each transaction to cover costs. Fremont County partnered with Access Idaho, the state's official Web portal that specializes in electronic government applications, for help with setting up and running the service.
