When I paid my pitifully low property tax online, the credit card charge would have been 3%. Essentially the government pays the fee, but passes it on to us. I went with the debit card option, a flat fee of around 5 bucks.
I regularly pay all my bills and online purchases using a bank card and do not pay any fees per transaction. For that I pay an account maintenance fee of around €7 per quarter.
