Renewals are processed via the eGovPlus portal at onestopshop.wpbgov.com — applicants enter their account number (padded with leading zeros to ten digits) and business name to locate the account and pay any balance due.
Renewal window opens July 1 each year; BTRs expire September 30 with delinquency penalties beginning October 1. Renewal notices sent on or about July or August; online payment via eGovPlus opens after August 15 — do not wait for the notice to renew.
Delinquency penalties follow Florida Statute 205.053 — late fees begin October 1 and escalate monthly; confirm the current penalty schedule on the official renewal notice or with the Business Tax Division.
Contractors must present current Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (DBPR) certification or state registration before the city issues the BTR.
Palm Beach County requires its own companion BTR — a separate parallel obligation issued by the Constitutional Tax Collector (Anne M. Gannon, pbctax.gov). Operator must apply to the county separately.
YourStanding must not calculate the BTR fee — contractor classifications vary; classification-specific fees are set by city code and confirmed by the Business Tax Division.
