Each year those businesses operating in the Town
of Longboat Key, including residential rentals and home occupations, have been
issued a new application to apply for the upcoming year and pay taxes as of
October 1st. Tax notices for occupational licenses have been updated for those
businesses continuing for the next fiscal year.
Applications are mailed in July. Tax information and payments are due
before October 1st. The tax notice includes rates plus penalties for 150
days following the September 30 due date. Remember to fill out the number of units,
seats or employees on the form and to send the tax notice, payment made payable
to the Town of Longboat Key, and a copy of your current licenses or documentation required
by either the County or State.
All taxes that are unpaid as of February 1st will
be forwarded directly to the Code Enforcement Board for collection. This Town
Board has the authority to add fines to late fees already imposed and request
the business owner to also pay an administrative fee as well as attorney's fees.
Liens can also be placed against the business or property if left unpaid.
Any questions will be answered by the Office of
the Town Clerk's Business Tax Receipt Licensing Official at 316-1999, extension 261.
