It’s that time of year again – 

Time to renew your Destin Business Tax Receipts (BTRs). 

To avoid any late fees, renewal payments are due each year no later than September 30th.

All active current customers will be able to renew through the COMPASS system at www.CityofDestin.com/COMPASS.

If you have not already registered and created a COMPASS login account, you will need to do that first. The instructions to register are as follows:

1. Begin registration process at our website: www.cityofdestin.com\COMPASS

2. Click on LOG IN/ REGISTER

3. “Don’t Have an Account Yet?” Register Here

4. Enter email address and then check your email account to complete verification.

5. Please use the email address you received this information at to ensure your account is properly linked.

6. Create your username and password.

If you have any changes please use this form: FY24 Change Form

For all customers who have an existing COMPASS login account, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to the City of Destin website, scroll down, and click on the link to COMPASS.

2. Login to your COMPASS account. If you have trouble logging in, use the forgot username/forgot password option.

3. Click on My Work then My Licenses and click on the Renew button. (If you do not see the Renew button, please contact our office at BusinessTaxReceipts@Cityofdestin.com for assistance. Accounts that are Delinquent/Past Due will not see the Renew button.)

4. Click Next until you reach the Submit option and Submit.

5. Once your renewal has been submitted, staff will review it and create your FY2024 Renewal Invoice. You will receive an email notification once your invoice is ready.

6. To make payment, go to the COMPASS home page, click on Pay Invoice, and enter complete invoice number (e.g. INV-#######) and follow prompts to complete the payment.

Alternate Payment Method: Once you receive the email notification, log in to COMPASS and in the options across the top of the screen, select View, and then select My Licenses. Click on the link under License Number and then select Fees. You will see a Fee Summary for the renewal amount, and you will select Add to Cart. Select Check Out and add your payment information and Pay Now.

7. Once staff has received the payment and processed the renewal (which should occur within 5 business days after payment has been made) you can log back into COMPASS, go to your COMPASS Dashboard, go to your License. When it opens there will be a Printer Icon in the upper right corner. Simply click on that icon to print the renewed BTR.
