The tax payment must be filed and remitted by the 20th day of the month following the month in which the special event began. If the 20th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the return and tax remittance is due the next business day.
Special event sales tax returns can be filed online or on paper. For more information about online filing, visit the How to File Special Events Online web page. If filing by paper, be sure to use the Special Event Sales Tax Return (DR 0098).

The City of Fort Collins requires a temporary sales tax license for participants in special events. A separate temporary sales tax license is needed for each event.
