Renew Your Business Tax Account

Business Tax Account Renewal Required

Annual renewal or closure of a City of Fremont business tax account is required prior to the business tax certificate expiration date. A Business Tax Return Renewal Form is mailed from the City of Fremont to registered businesses in advance of the business tax certificate expiration date. The Return Renewal Form needs to be completed and returned to the City of Fremont Revenue Division, with the applicable business tax payment. If you have received a Business Tax Return Renewal Form, either by mail or by email, you may return the completed form by mail or renew your business tax account online.

Renewal Filing Deadlines

You may mail your Return Renewal Form and business tax payment to the Revenue Division office. Mailed forms and payments must be received by our office no later than 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the month following your business tax certificate expiration date. If the last day of the month is a weekend or holiday, the postmark deadline is the preceding business day. You may also drop your completed Business Tax Return Renewal Form and payment off at our office, no later than 4 p.m. at our cashier counter (cashier counter closes at noon on Fridays), or 5 p.m. in our payment drop box.
