We will inform you when your return has been accepted for processing. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Customer Notice: Due to COVID-19, ADOR's in-person lobby services are by appointment only and in compliance with local municipal and county face covering policies.
NOTICE: AZTaxes.gov will be unavailable on Wednesday, March 3 from 5:30 p.m. through 11:59 p.m. (midnight) for scheduled system maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The state of Arizona and its cities and towns continue to work together to achieve the goal of simplifying the manner in which taxpayers report and pay their transaction privilege tax (TPT). The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) requires all licensed businesses to renew their Arizona TPT license annually. Failure to renew the license may result in penalties. See below for a list of applicable city fees.
Note: Businesses with more than one location will not receive a paper form for renewal and must renew their licenses online at AZTaxes.gov. There is no option for blank paper renewal forms.
Mandatory requirement to file and pay electronically – Penalties for non-compliance
Taxpayers with an annual transaction privilege or use tax liability of $500 or more during the prior calendar year are required to file tax returns electronically (A.R.S § 42-5014) and make tax payments by Electronic Funds Transfer (A.R.S. § 42-1129). Failure to comply with the electronic filing and payment requirements may result in penalties.
How to renew your license on AZTaxes.gov
(You will need the pertinent information for renewal, any changes, payment information, and your e-signature PIN.)
If you do not see these options, you have not linked your account to your TPT license or the primary user has not given you access to renew the license. See AZTaxes User Access for more information on primary and delegate users.
The license is valid for one calendar year, from January 1 through December 31 and businesses must renew annually by January 1. Even if you get licensed in late in the year, you still must renew your license in January. Business owners must pay their renewal fees when they submit their renewal. They can pay with e-check or ACH debit if they have that option set up on their account.
The renewal fee is due and payable on January 1 and is considered delinquent if not received on or before the last business day of January.
When renewed and paid in full, the new TPT license certificates are then generated for each business location on file and sent to the mailing address on file with the department within three to five business days of processing the renewal. Businesses will receive one renewal notice per license from ADOR, regardless of the business location.
If a license has incorrect information, business taxpayers can make changes using the Business Account Update process.
If you are no longer in business, please cancel your existing TPT license on AZTaxes.gov or submit a Business Account Update Form with the cancel effective date to ensure your account history remains in good standing and avoid penalties.
Note: Businesses must make the applicable changes before renewing their licenses. They can update their account information on AZTaxes.gov, but should allow up to four hours for the update to appear on their accounts.
Those businesses required to register for TPT prior to operating, but fail to do so, may be subject to penalties. The penalty is 50% of the city renewal fee. Operating without proper licensing is a class 3 misdemeanor, depending on business activity.

Arizona does not charge a state “renewal” fee.
Renewal license fees are annual and are based on the region location where your business operates in. Every year, the fees are reviewed and based on the ordinance of each city/town.
Even if there is no renewal license fee, you must still renew your TPT license.
Please note:
The residential rental renewal fee for Chandler, Phoenix and Scottsdale is $2 per unit, up to a maximum of $50.00 per license.
