Cartersville websites for Bartow County trades

Half price after July 1

The city's new business application sets the fee by full-time employees, not counting the owner, with two part-timers counting as one. It's $90 for 0 to 1, $180 for 2 to 5, $240 for 6 to 10 and $335 for 11 to 50. Every tier is halved for businesses opening after July 1. Card payments carry a 2.95% convenience fee, and American Express isn't accepted.

For an existing building, the steps start with the Planning and Development Department on the second floor of City Hall at 10 North Public Square (770-387-5600). You call to verify zoning, then have the Bartow County Tax Commissioner's office confirm that any taxes owed to the city from previous years are paid.

Commercial buildings get inspections from the fire, water and building departments, each signing a final inspection sheet. You then return the paperwork and sign-off sheet to Planning, which has free notaries. The application says a Knox Box key safe is required for all new businesses, ownership changes and renovations, and the applicant installs it.
