68℉Pay Business Tax
It is your responsibility to pay your Business Tax by the due date whether or not you have received a renewal notice.
2.66% SERVICE FEE FOR CREDIT CARD AND DEBIT CARD PAYMENTS
Effective May 1, 2024, when submitting a card payment, an additional service fee of 2.66% will be collected by a third party (Wells Fargo Merchant Services) to cover transaction processing fees. To avoid this fee, payments can be paid online via ACH/eCheck, or paid in person with cash or check or by mailing a check.
NSF FEE
Business Tax payments can be paid online, by mail, or over the phone. If the payment is not honored by a financial institution, for any reason, the payment is null and void. A $24.00 returned payment fee will be charged.
LATE PAYMENT WARNING
Penalty and interest is assessed the day after business tax is due. There is no grace period for late payments. It can take up to 4-5 business days after your due date for late fees to be displayed on the online payment page below. You may receive a supplemental bill for unpaid late fees if they are not included in your payment.
Online
Please have your account number and invoice available to make a payment online. You will need to know your account balance to make a payment.
If you are paying to renew a Regulatory Permit, you will also need to submit a Regulatory Permit Form to renew. Your Regulatory Permit will not be issued until this form is received along with full payment.
