The City of Birmingham encourages businesses to enroll in new business tax and license system
As the City of Birmingham continues to strengthen its systems of engagement with local businesses, the Tax and License Division is introducing a new, more user-friendly online experience. In partnership with HdL Companies, this system is touted as being more customer-centric. HdL is a leader in providing technology-driven resources and has decades of direct experience in municipal finance, budgeting, and economic development.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 12, businesses already registered within the city’s tax and license system are encouraged to enroll in the new network here. Existing businesses must register with the new system by Friday, Sept. 6, in order to conduct all future tax and license transactions online. Failure to do so will require those businesses to engage with the city strictly in person.
The online registration system is not currently available to new businesses. Individuals seeking to secure a new business license must still come to City Hall.
Tax and License Division staff will provide in-person support for registration in the lobby of City Hall, located at 710 20th Street North. Their office is located on the first floor of City Hall in Room TL100.
Questions about the new system can be emailed to BhamTLSupport@birminghamal.gov.
