How to Get a Reseller License in Arizona

To sell products for resale in Arizona, you must obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) License, which functions as Arizona's sales tax permit. Registration is completed online through AZTaxes.gov, the official Arizona Department of Revenue portal. The state license fee is $12 per location, though additional municipal fees may apply depending on where you operate (for example, Phoenix charges an additional $50 annually).

You will need:

• Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)
• Business entity information
• Owner/officer details including Social Security numbers and driver's licenses
• Projected sales figures

Processing time is fast when registering online, with your TPT license number typically issued the same day, while the physical certificate arrives by mail within 7-10 business days. Your license must be renewed annually by January 1. Once you have your TPT License, you can complete Arizona Form 5000A (the Resale Certificate) to make tax-exempt purchases on inventory you intend to resell.
