The Business Tax Receipt Section of the Finance Department is found on the first floor of city hall.
The initial application for a Business Tax Receipt/Permit is submitted here along with any required documentation.
|
|
|
|
Once submitted, an Business Tax Receipt activity number is assigned and
the application is entered into the database.
|
|
|
As soon as the application is entered, all departments required for approval are
notified of the application and each area reviews the application simultaneously.
|
|
|
Following up on this process, scheduling inspections, coordinating with the
appropriate departments etc. is the customer's responsibility.
|
|
|
Once all approvals are received, then the customer can come in to the counter on
the first floor to pay the necessary fees and pick up the license/permit.
|
|
|
The Finance Department is usually the last department to sign off on a license
after all other approvals are received.
|
|
|
Once we verify that all approvals have been received and that the applicant is
current with any monies owed, the Business Tax Receipt is issued.
|
|
|
The length of the process will depend on the type of license/permit and the
current permitted use of the place of business.
