The City of Hollywood grants payment refunds only if it appears that a local business
tax payment was collected by mistake or error except in the following cases:
- A new business that is issued a local business tax receipt for the first time and never opens.
A refund may be granted upon written request within 90 days after the issuance of the local business tax receipt.
- A new business that is issued a local business tax receipt for the first time and goes out-of-business
within the first three months of opening. A refund of
one-half of the annual tax may be granted upon written
request within 90 days after the close of the business.
- A business that has paid its renewal tax and goes out-of-business by
October 1, the start of the new local
business tax year. A full refund will be granted if the written request is received by December 31st.
In these cases, the local business tax payment will be refunded less a service charge of $20 upon relinquishment
of the local business tax receipt to the City, and verification by the City that the business never opened or went
out-of-business. Any other local business tax amounts past due and owed to the City by the local business tax
receipt holder shall be paid first prior to any refund.
To request a refund in accordance with the City’s refund policy as stated above, please contact Customer Service at (954) 921-3225.
