Acworth websites for Cobb County service businesses
Acworth wants you to get its business license approved before you sign a lease. Payment comes only after every department signs off, and renewals are due June 30.
Approval before the lease
Acworth is in Cobb County, and its commercial application starts with the Cobb County Fire Marshal. The marshal reviews and red-stamps your plans, and you bring four copies of the site and detail plans to that review. The city recommends approval before you sign a lease, start construction or spend money, since zoning may not allow your use.
First, contact the city's zoning administrator to check the address, land use and building code. After the fire marshal's review, one stamped set goes to the Customer Service Department and another to the Building Department. The application includes a parking site plan, a secure ID, your EIN or Social Security number, and any state sales tax or professional licenses.
Don't send payment with the application. The city says payment is due after every department approves it, and certificates must be renewed by June 30 each year. The Customer Service Department in City Hall runs the business license program and takes cash, check and card. There are separate applications for in-home businesses and short-term rentals.
Zoning questions go to Community Development at 770-974-2032, which is also the Building Department contact on the application.
