Inspect first, apply second
Calhoun, a Gordon County city, requires an occupational tax and regulatory fee, its name for a business license, for every business inside city limits, and each location needs its own. Step one is a new-business inspection, which must be done before the application goes to City Hall at 226 South Wall Street.
Next you submit the application with SAVE and E-Verify affidavits and a secure and verifiable ID. Affidavits must be notarized, and notaries are available at City Hall. Employers with 11 or more workers must give their E-Verify user number. Restaurants need a health department certificate, and retailers provide their Georgia sales tax certificate.
Most businesses pay by employees, counting the owner and part-time equivalents: $75 for one, $148 for two, $275 for 3 to 5, $500 for 6 to 9 and $825 for 10 to 19, up to $4,275 above 750. Insurance agencies pay $50, and locksmiths and alarm installers have $100 special regulatory licenses obtained in person. Businesses starting on or after July 1 pay 50 percent of the annual rate.
