When a business is sold, the business name changes, or there is a change in location, a transfer fee is due. The fee for transferring a current Business Tax account is 10% of the original fee, with a minimum of $3.00 and a maximum of $25.00.
Renewals for Business Tax accounts are due and payable each year by September 30. Late fees will be added as follows:
October – $3
November – $4.50
December – $6
January and later – $7.50
BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT or FEE EXEMPTIONS
Florida law allows certain exemptions for Business Tax fees. An account is still required and will be established at no cost or for a reduced fee.
The Business Tax Exemption Affidavit provides a list of exemptions and must be submitted with your Business Tax Application.
