Paulding County, Georgia
Dallas, GA websites for Paulding County trades
Dallas starts every new business with a $25 submission invoice in its Customer Self Service portal.
Apply in the portal
Dallas is the Paulding County seat, and anyone doing business, a trade or a profession inside city limits must register and hold an occupational tax certificate. The Occupational Tax Department is at 200 Main Street, open weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a noon-to-1 lunch closure, at 770-443-8110 ext. 1210.
You apply online in the Customer Self Service portal, then pay a $25 new-business submission invoice that arrives by email from a no-reply address. Commercially zoned locations schedule inspections with the Paulding County Fire Marshal and the City of Dallas Building Inspector, and zoning must approve too.
City departments review internally, and after approval a second emailed invoice covers the certificate. The cost comes from the city's business class table and tax rate table. Separate commercial and residential checklists, a financial affidavit, a public benefit affidavit, a private employer affidavit and a home occupation form sit on the department page.
Changes have their own forms: name or contact updates, a NAICS code change, a move within city limits, or a closure. A new small business with a commercial lease, fewer than 10 employees and Secretary of State incorporation within 365 days can apply to have its first-year tax waived; home occupations and professions are excluded.
