Please use our Online Filing and Payment System to keep some of this tax for your business. The City allows the taxpayer to take an additional 1/2% discount for filing your tax return online. The City also offers an additional 1/2% discount for paying the tax online. These discounts are offered to save City staff time processing your return. The discounts are only offered for using the online system below. This is the preferred method of filing and payment - please file and pay online and save money for doing so. Thank you
The online Filing and Payment Service is through our partner, Xpress Bill Pay. The site is secure and will protect your information with the latest technology. Use the instructions for first-time users (PDF) to set up an account and then you can log into Xpress Bill Pay each month to file your return and if you choose, you may also make your payment online. You may choose to only file online and receive the 1/2% discount if you still wish to write a check for your payment. If you file and pay online, you will not need to mail anything to the City. For further information, please call the Finance Department at 630-454-2032.
