Business Tax Receipts (BTR)
What the Tax Receipt Is
A business tax receipt is a tax levied upon all businesses within the municipal boundaries. Payment of the tax receipt does not certify or imply the competence of the licensee. Within Florida, most cities and counties have a business tax receipt program. For more information, see our helpful brochure "Thinking of Opening a Business in Palm Beach?"
When You Need One
If you engage or manage any business, profession, or perform any business within our town limits, you need to purchase a tax receipt. If your business has more than one location, a separate tax receipt is required for each location. A separate tax receipt is issued for each use performed within your business and in some cases, to each professional operating within your business.
Applying for a Business Tax Receipt
The Business Tax Receipt Application is available on our website. You may apply in person for a Business Tax Receipt between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, at Town Hall, 360 South County Road, Palm Beach, FL 33480.
NOTE: Enterprise Permit & Licensing (EPL)
On April 2nd, 2024, the Town of Palm Beach launched our long-awaited software upgrade that allows for online submittals of Business Tax Receipts, along with the ability to request changes and pay future renewals. Current licensed businesses and professionals within the Town of Palm Beach will be receiving renewal notices in the beginning of July. All payments are due on or before September 30, 2024. Included with the renewal notice will be a request to update your information. Please make sure to complete this form and return with your renewal payment. YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS CRUCIAL TO THE ONLINE PORTAL. You will be able to print the current years renewed Business Tax Receipt once payment is received and information is updated. You will be required to set up your online account to access information. Your username will be your email and you will be required to create a password.
If you have any questions, please email BTR@townofpalmbeach.com.
