The City of Fort Collins uses an online tax collection and business licensing system
MUNIRevs will greatly improve the business taxpayer’s experience by allowing businesses to file and pay taxes at any time on any day via an internet connected device. Businesses will also have on demand access to previously filed tax returns by accessing the system online. Additionally, businesses will be able to delegate access to their tax professionals to file on their behalf.
