How Payafee Works

​

• Bills can be generated for approved fee types, helping agencies pursue balances that are frequently delayed or left uncollected
   

• Payers can resolve balances through online and phone-based payment options, improving convenience and accelerating collections
   

• Agencies can support multiple payment methods, including card-based transactions and structured repayment arrangements for larger balances
   

• The platform is intended to fit alongside existing operational systems so staff can receive needed data with minimal disruption to daily workflows

​​​

Payafee is built around the realities sheriff’s offices face: limited staff time, pressure to recover allowable fees, and the need to make payment easy without adding administrative burden. Public agencies already use fee schedules and recovery processes for jail-related charges and false alarm programs, which makes a streamlined collection workflow especially valuable.

​

The service is positioned as free to the agency, with transaction fees paid by the person making the payment, allowing the office to retain the underlying fees it is authorized to collect.
