SAVE TIME..RENEW YOUR BUSINESS LICENSE ONLINE

The Commissioner of the Revenue and City Treasurer’s Eservices portal has undergone an upgrade. 


Taxpayers will no longer need a PIN number to login and use the File and Pay Business Taxes option. Just enter a few pieces of information from your account and you will be able to securely file and pay for business license fees, monthly and quarterly fiduciary taxes and personal property taxes. This upgrade will allow businesses to file and upload tangible business personal property and machinery and tools tax asset listings, which previously had to be mailed into the office.

In order to provide you with the best online experience possible, we recommend using Google Chrome when you access the portal.
