OUR PROCESS
A city business tax is a local tax charged by your city for the privilege of operating within city limits. Many cities base this tax on gross receipts, business activity type, number of employees, or a flat annual fee. It is separate from state and federal taxes and typically requires annual filing or renewal.
A county business tax is a local tax imposed by the county where your business operates. Counties often require business tax certificates, gross receipts reporting, and personal property tax filings. These filings confirm your business activity and help determine county tax obligations.
City taxes do not include real estate property taxes.
County taxes include real estate property tax only if your business owns the property or land. If you lease your space, the landlord is responsible for real estate property taxes, while your business may still owe business personal property tax on equipment and furnishings you own inside the building.City filings may include reporting gross receipts, selecting your business activity category, renewing your business license, and confirming business location details. Some cities charge a percentage-based tax; others charge a flat or tiered annual fee.
County filings typically include your business tax certificate renewal, gross receipts reporting (if required), local compliance forms, and business personal property tax filings.
Business personal property tax is a county-level tax on the equipment, furniture, computers, machinery, and tools your business owns. Each year, businesses must report these assets — with their values and depreciation schedules — so the county can calculate the property tax owed.
Most businesses must register and file with their local city and county, even home-based and online businesses. Requirements depend on business activity, revenue, and location. We identify all jurisdictions where you must file.
We analyze your business address, service area, operations, employees, and asset locations to map out every city and county with filing requirements — including property tax obligations.
You may face penalties, interest, license holds, or compliance notices. Counties may also issue assessments for missed property tax filings. We file past-due returns and resolve notices quickly to bring your business back into compliance.
