The 2010 License Renewals have now been mailed.  The annual cost of a Privilege Tax license is $50 and is due by December 31, 2009.

State law requires Individuals /Sole Proprietors to submit a copy of one of twelve documents that indicates authorized presence in the United States.  More information about the eligible documents as well as the State Law, the Legal Arizona Worker's Act, can be found on the Maricopa County Attorney's web site.  The City of Tempe will accept and process your application but will not issue a license until documentation has been received.
