Gilbert is a "Program City"

The Town of Gilbert is a "PROGRAM CITY” with the State of Arizona.   This means that the Town contracts with the Arizona Department of Revenue to collect the Gilbert Privilege License Tax.  The State then disburses the collections to Gilbert based on the monthly tax reports (TPT-1) submitted.  It is very important to make sure your TPT-1 indicates that part of the payment you submit is designated for Gilbert

How do I get a License?

Applying for a license is done through the Arizona Department of Revenue.  It can be done in person at their East Valley Office, online or by mail. 

  1. In Person - Applications are available at the East Valley Office - 275 E Germann Road, Building 2, Suite 180 in Gilbert, AZ, (Crossroads Gilbert & Germann) their phone number is 480-545-3500. 
    If you apply or pay at their office, they will supply you with your TPT License Number along with your receipt.  They will take either the completed JT-1 or the signed signature card you printed from the online process.  Your TPT License will be mailed to you from the State of Arizona within a few days.

  2. Online - There are two options for online applications.
    A. Go to http://www.azdor.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=NhqcEr38FAA=&tabid=264&mid=868, complete the fillable pdf application and print it out to submit
        OR
    B. Go to the www.aztaxes.gov online registration webpage and use the "License a New Business” option.  The process will direct you through several screens pertaining to licensing your type of business.  Once submitted, you will be able to print out a copy of the application for your records, and also a signature card* to submit with your payment of fees.  *If you elect to mail the signature card, it may take several weeks for the State to process and assign a TPT License Number.

  3. Mail -   If you elect to mail in the application, the State will process your application, which may take several weeks. 

Please feel free to contact our office if you have questions or issues with completing the license application or process online.  You can reach us at 480-503-6852.

What if I already have a State TPT Number?

If you have an Arizona TPT number, you can add additional program cities to your license by completing the TPT License Update which is available on the Arizona Department of Revenue website under the forms category.   You will indicate the Program Cities you wish to add and submit the application directly to the Arizona Department of Revenue. The cost to add the Gilbert License to your State TPT License is $2.00.
