“Since the 30th falls on the weekend, payments will be accepted in person only on Monday, October 2nd,” Ford-Coates explained in a news release.

Any Business Tax that remains unpaid after that date will be delinquent, and additional money will be due, the release points out.

The quickest and easiest way to pay is to go to the Tax Collector Office’s website, www.SarasotaTaxCollector.com, the release continues. After the online payment has been completed, a Business Tax receipt can be printed immediately, the release notes. Payments also may be made by mail or in person at any Tax Collector’s Office Service Center Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.:
