Renewal notices are simply courtesy reminders to business owner’s that their Business Registrations will soon expire. It is the business owner’s responsibility to renew their Business Registration. Therefore, failure to receive a renewal notice does not relieve the business owner’s responsibility to renew their business registration; nor is it grounds for waiving any penalties due.
