The City of Deerfield Beach will launch a new online bill pay system on April 7. The city believes the new Paymentus system is an improvement for residents who pay utilities, building permits, business taxes, and other fees online through echeck payments, credit, or debit cards.
Residents should expect the login portal to look different from the previous Click2Gov portal. Utility payments made through the new Paymentus system will automatically post at the end of each business day, updating customer account information. Credit card payments made for Building Permits or Business Tax will register and be posted to the system the following business day.
During this transition, credit card payments for parking stickers, parking tickets, fire inspections and miscellaneous fees only WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM April 7 – April 21. During this time, payments must be made via cash or check at the City Hall cashier until the system is fully operational and tested. Credit card payments for these items will be taken after April 21.
The city would like to apologize for any inconvenience to customers as it makes this transition. To view the instructional videos, click the link below.
For more information, questions or concerns, contact Customer Service at 954-480-4279, option two.

Broward Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit detectives arrested a preacher, identified as Junior Augustin, at his home in Deerfield Beach on Tuesday, March 30 for charges related to sexual battery of a minor.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim, a 16 year old female, was staying at Augustin’s home to assist with babysitting his eight children while his wife was in the hospital.
The victim stayed at Augustin’s home during the months of January and February of 2021. In March, the victim returned home and began showing signs of behavior that were suspicious to her mother.
The victim’s mother, suspicious of her daughter’s newly acquired behavior, obtained her cellphone and saw sexually explicit photos and messages expressing their love for each other sent to and from Augustin via Whatsapp and Telegram.
In March, on two occasions, Augustin acknowledged the acts and made a voluntary confession during a meeting that was regularly recorded at a church in unincorporated Central Broward.
On March 30, BSO SVU detectives arrested Augustin on charges of sexual battery on a minor 16 or 17 years of age and sex offense of a victim over 12 and up to 15 years of age.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone who has information regarding this case or is aware of additional victims is encouraged to contact Detective Dimos Charoudis at 954-321-4243. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.

Earlier this year, Sheriff Gregory Tony tasked members of his command staff to develop the first ever Broward Sheriff’s Office Youth L.E.A.D. (Learning, Educating and Developing) Camp, an innovative eight-week summer program designed to help develop Broward County youth into strong, responsible and civically-engaged young adults.
“As I grew, I met officers who left a positive lasting impression on me,” Sheriff Tony said. “They were not just nameless, faceless people in uniforms responding to incidents; they were friends, mentors and leaders. These experiences prompted me to want to do the same for Broward’s youngest generation.”
BSOYLC, in partnership with the historically Black Greek letter organizations that make up the Broward County National Pan-Hellenic Council, will provide youths ages 10 to 18 with the life skills education and support network needed to reach their full potential while focusing on the following seven pillars of success:
- Education/entrepreneurship⠀
- Life skills⠀
- Career development⠀
- Financial literacy⠀
- Community service⠀
- Government/civic responsibility
- Health and wellness.⠀
Meetings will be primarily held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays at the BSO Public Safety Building, and breakfast and lunch will be provided for all participants.
