County to temporarily cover convenience fees for online payments

Published on October 22, 2026

LĪHU‘E – The Department of Finance announces that beginning Monday, October 26, the County will temporarily cover the $2.50 convenience fee for online motor vehicle registration renewals and sewer payments, helping residents continue to access these services online following the September 9 fire at the Kapule Building.

The County hopes this temporary fee waiver will encourage more residents to take advantage of the convenience of online services, helping reduce the need for in-person visits and allowing residents to complete eligible transactions from home.

For each eligible online transaction, the County will cover Tyler Technologies’ $2.50 convenience fee. Customers will remain responsible for any applicable payment-processing fees, including credit card fees and the $1.00 eCheck fee.

Residents may access the online services at the following links:

• Renew your vehicle registration: https://mvr.ehawaii.gov/renewals/kauai/lookup
• Pay your sewer bill: https://pay.ehawaii.gov/kauai#!/search/1

For additional information or questions contact the Department of Finance at 808-241-4200 or finance@kauai.gov.
