Returned Payments

Pursuant to Florida Statute 68.065, a service fee of not less than $25.00 up to a maximum of 5 percent will be charged for all returned payments. The taxpayer will be held responsible for penalties, interest, fees and/or loss of discount resulting from any returned payment.

Discounts or interest, if applicable, will be determined by the date you resubmit your payment.

In lieu of a service charge authorized under subsection (3), s. 832.062(4)(a), or s. 832.07, 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 of $25 if the face value does not exceed $50; $30 if the face value exceeds $50 but does not exceed $300; $40 if the face value exceeds $300; or 5 percent of the face value of the payment instrument, whichever is greater. The right to damages under this subsection may be claimed without the filing of a civil action. Pursuant to Administrative Order 4-86 the taxpayer will be responsible for fees and/or loss of discount resulting from returned payments.
