Alpharetta websites for home-based and licensed pros
Alpharetta expects your business license on the first day you open, and it publishes a flat rate for home-based businesses. That makes it easy to budget for, and to launch your website and license together.
A license from day one
Alpharetta is in north Fulton County. The city says every business operating in Alpharetta needs a current occupational tax certificate from its first day of business. Its home-based application lists an annual rate of $125 plus a $10 employee fee, and a $75 administrative fee that isn't prorated.
New applications filed after June 30 get a prorated base tax: 50% from July 1 to September 30, and 25% from October 1 to December 31. Renewal notices go out in December, and renewals with notarized affidavits can be sent by email or mail.
