Business Tax Receipts
Apply For - Renew - Print Your Business Tax Receipt - All Online!
With our SmartGov portal, you can take care of everything you need to acquire your Business Tax Receipt from the comfort of your home or office.
Step 1. Sign up for a SmartGov account.
This account will be your one-stop shop for permitting with the City of Longwood. You can apply for a new BTR, and you'll receive notifications when your renewal is due. You'll even be able to print your Business Tax Receipt from your home or office without making the trip all the way down to City Hall! You will use the same account for other permitting needs with the City including building permits. If you already have a SmartGov account - you can skip this step! To assist you in the registration and BTR process, please see our tutorial here Version OptionsBusiness Tax ReceiptsHeadline Step 1. Sign up for a SmartGov account..

Step 2. Apply for your Business Tax Receipt.
After you've signed up for your Smart Gov account, click "Apply On-line" and then select "Business Tax Receipt" from the drop-down box and you will be on your way. After applying for your BTR, your application will be reviewed. For some applications, this may require inspections by City staff, for which we will reach out to you to schedule. You'll be able to track your application's progress through the portal and will get automatic alerts as it moves through the process.
Some things you'll want to have handy when you sign up:
- Your business' Federal ID number (also known as Employer Identification Number - EIN) where applicable. If you're a sole proprietor without an LLC, you will enter your Social Security Number.
- Where applicable, this is the number from your business licensing through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
Step 3. Print your Business Tax Receipt.
Once you've provided the required information and passed any required inspections, you'll be alerted that your BTR is ready to be printed at your convenience!
