Credit Card Convenience Fees

In the past, Sonoma County Animal Services has absorbed thousands of dollars a year in credit card convenience fees on behalf of our customers. Starting November 25, 2025, Sonoma County Animal Services will no longer pay those fees. Instead, they will be passed onto customers making payments with credit or debit cards. When credit card convenience fees are paid by us, we are indirectly subsidizing payments made by credit and debit cards. This creates an inequity for customers paying by cash or check.  The convenience fee charges are 2.9% of the amount charged plus $0.30.

More information about the State of California law that allows convience fee charges can be found here.

You can also make a payment by phone at (707) 565-7100, or in lobby or by mail at 1247 Century Ct, Santa Rosa, CA 95403. If paying with check, please make them payable to Sonoma County Animal Services.
