Business Tax Receipts

A Business Tax Receipt (BTR) is required for the privilege of engaging in or managing any business, profession, or occupation within the city limits. A separate Business Tax Receipt is required for each place and type of business.

The City of Dunedin utilizes a full-service online system called Enterprise Permitting & Licensing (EP&L) by Tyler Technologies. Business Tax Receipt Applications are submitted, reviewed and approved online using the Dunedin Citizen Self Service (CSS) Portal.

Visit the Dunedin Citizen Self Service (CSS) Portal to register, login and apply for a Business Tax Receipt (BTR).

Annual business taxes vary from $50.00 to $200.00 per classification based on square footage.

Home Occupations are any occupation, profession, or business activity conducted entirely within a dwelling unit and carried on by the occupant. The home occupation must be clearly incidental and subordinate to the use of the dwelling unit and shall not change the character of the neighborhood.
