Renew online via the City of Pembroke Pines Self-Service Portal at https://pembrokepinesfl-energovweb.tylerhost.net/apps/selfservice#/home. For assistance, contact the LBTR Division at 954-450-1062 or email sschauer@ppines.com / edgomez@ppines.com; office hours Monday–Thursday 7:00 AM–6:00 PM.

Annual LBTR runs October 1 – September 30. Delinquency begins October 1; per Florida Statute 205.053, penalties escalate monthly — contact the LBTR Division at 954-450-1062 to confirm the current penalty schedule and trigger dates.

FL Statute 205.053(3) authorizes a statewide penalty if the business tax remains unpaid for an extended period after initial notice — this is statewide/self-executing and does not require the City of Pembroke Pines to expressly invoke it in local ordinance.

New businesses as of January 30, 2023 must obtain a Certificate of Use from the Building Department before applying for an LBTR. Contact the Building Department for Certificate of Use requirements and current fee.

Contractors must provide at application: State Contractor License or Broward County Certificate of Competency, Certificate of Insurance, sunbiz.org printout confirming active Florida registration, active Federal Tax Identification Number (FEIN), copy of lease if operating from leased commercial space, and notarized application signed by owner or corporate officer.

A separate Broward County Local Business Tax Receipt is required from the Office of Abbey Ajayi, Broward Constitutional Tax Collector (https://www.browardtax.org/); the city instructs obtaining the Pembroke Pines LBTR first, then the county LBTR. Both follow the October 1 – September 30 fiscal year.

Contractors who pull building permits must maintain a separate contractor registration with the Building Department (managed by CGA Solutions, 954-435-6502). Email PDF copies of required documents to pinespermits@cgasolutions.com with subject line 'Contractor Registration/Update'. This registration is separate from and in addition to the LBTR.

YourStanding must not calculate the LBTR fee — fees are determined by city classification and vary by business type; contact the LBTR Division at 954-450-1062 to confirm the applicable fee for your classification.
