The PDF permit on your website…

• They find a stamp, write a check, mail it in
• You wait three days and manually enter the data
• You call to confirm receipt and send a paper receipt

WITH MUNIBIT

That PDF becomes a digital form

• Resident fills out the form and pays by card in one step
• You receive the payment and organized data immediately
• Email confirmation goes to the resident automatically
• No stamps, no checks, no manual entry

*Submitted in under 60 seconds

PAYMENT TYPES

Everything your government collects, online.

One tool. Every fee type. No extra software required.

Permits

Building permits, burn permits, special event permits. Residents apply and pay in a single submission.

Property taxes, licensing fees, fines, and assessments collected online with automatic transaction records.

Utilities

Water bills, sewer fees, and other utility payments. Supports both card and ACH bank transfer.

Reservations

Park, meeting rooms, boat launches, athletic fields. Reservations with deposits or full payment at booking.

Court & Ambulance

Traffic fines, court fees, & ambulance billing. Online collection means faster payment and less follow-up.

Donations & Fundraising

Community fundraising and nonprofit initiatives. One client raised $50,000 using Munibit's payment tools.

ACCESSIBILITY

Don't let your payment processor become a legal liability.

Most third-party payment processors are black boxes. Your government has no control over their screen-reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, or color contrast. Under ADA Title II, that matters.

Munibit payments are part of the same platform as your website. That means a single, unified experience built to support WCAG 2.2 AA from the first form field to the final receipt.

Screen-reader compatible throughout the payment flow

Full keyboard navigation on every payment form

Built to support WCAG 2.2 AA, above the 2.1 AA legal floor

No patchwork vendor integrations to audit separately

The ADA Title II Deadline

Local governments under 50,000 population are required to meet WCAG 2.1 AA website standards by April 26, 2028. That includes online payment pages. A third-party payment processor your government does not control is a risk most municipalities have not considered yet.

Munibit websites support WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. All Local Governments should review their specific compliance obligations with their legal counsel.
