Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners is proud to announce payments via credit cards. This process will benefit vendors and the County by reducing paper, providing faster payment turn around time and reducing trips to the bank.

How does the program work?

Pinellas County will issue a unique credit card number to each vendor. The card has a zero balance until payments have been authorized.

After goods are delivered or services rendered vendors submit invoices to the Bill To department on the Purchase Order according to the current process. When payments are authorized, an e-mail notification is sent to an e-mail address provided by the vendor. The e-mail notification includes the invoice(s) number(s), invoice date, and amount of payment. Once the vendor receives the e-mail, the credit card has been authorized to be charged for the amount listed in the e-mail. When the vendor charges the full amount authorized in the e-mail, the card will return to a zero balance until the next payment is authorized.

Is there a cost to participate in the program?

Pinellas County does not charge vendors to participate in the program, however, there may be a charge by the company that processes your credit card transactions.

Note: Transaction fees are negotiable.
