Renewing an existing Business Tax
If you have received a renewal application, please mail the notice with your payment in the envelope provided or you may drop your payment into one of the two drop boxes located outside our building. (These boxes are labeled for utility payments) One is at 325 Central Avenue and the other is at 1(One) 4th Street North.
Business taxes expire on September 30 of each year. Although the City normally mails renewal applications during August of each year, the tax is due on or before September 30 regardless of whether you have received a renewal application or not. To avoid a late charge penalty, payment must be received by this office no later than September 30.
Florida Statute 205.053(1) imposes a delinquent penalty for business taxes renewed after September 30 of each year, as follows:
10% penalty if renewed in October
15% penalty if renewed in November
20% penalty if renewed in December
25% penalty if renewed after December 31
If you have not received a renewal application, but would like to renew, please call (727) 893-7241 for information.
If you have changes such as a new address or you are the new owner of a business, an application must be completed. Download by clicking on "Application" in the blue bar on the left side of this page, or call (727) 893-7241 and we will fax or mail the application.
You are now able to renew your business tax
on-line.
If there are any changes to the business name, type of work, ownership, phone number, mailing information or address, the renewal must be done by mail or in person.
Please note that you must have your renewal application which provides the numbers required for on-line payments.
