*Fire Inspection Fees shall be included in the Business Tax renewal process and, for billing purposes, shall be subject to the same payment deadlines and late fees as the Business Tax Certificate renewals. If, for any reason, the Fire Inspection fee is billed separately from the Business Tax renewal process, the Fire Inspection fee is payable within 60 calendar days of issuance of the bill and is subject to the same late fees as the Business Tax Certificate Renewal if not received or postmarked within the aforementioned 60 days.
Please note: Some fees may be subject to a 4% surcharge for technology improvements and maintenance to enhance customer service.
