Would you like to enroll in our automatic bank draft payment option? ___ Yes ___ No
If yes, please attach a voided check to this application. You may also sign up for this service online at a later date.
If yes, please read the below statement and initial to authorize automatic bank drafts from your account.
I authorize the Financial Institution named on my voided check to pay my monthly utility bill by charging each payment to the account
specified by me. I agree that each payment shall be the same as if it were an instrument personally, signed by me. This authority is to
remain in effect until revoked by me in writing. In addition, I have the right to stop payment of a charge by notifying Utility & Billing
Services 10 business days prior to the due date on my bill. If I do stop payment, I will still be responsible for payment of my utility bill by
the due date. I understand however that both the Financial Institution and the City of Oakland Park reserves the right to terminate this
plan or my participation therein. A service fee of $15.00 or 5% of the draft amount, whichever is greater, will be charged for all returned
bank draft payments
