There may be several reasons why the online fee payment system (SmartPay) is not working. Some troubleshooting tips are included below:
- If the page is not loading and you receive a "404 Error" please try reaching the page directly using this link.
- If you logon and immediately see a message indicating you have successfully logged out then please try these steps:
- Try a different internet browser such as Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. We discourage using Internet Explorer.
- Clear your browser's cache.
- Ensure that you have selected the Pay Now checkbox in the payment tab so that it adds the fee(s) to the total amount owed. If this is zero then a payment will not process.
- Ensure you are using either a VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express issued card.
- Ensure that the street address field includes only the street address information. City and State information is not necessary.
- Once all the requested information is provided the Finish button will be available to press. Select Finish and wait for the next screen to load to indicate if payment has been successful or not. If not successful, please note the error and contact libaccountservices@fairfaxcounty.gov with the error information and library card number. Please do not include credit card information in any correspondence. We will never ask for credit card data.
