Douglasville websites for west-metro service pros
Douglasville prices its business license on your own estimate of gross receipts, plus a $50 processing fee. Small new crews can keep the first-year bill modest.
Licenses priced on your own estimate
Douglasville is a Douglas County city west of Atlanta. The city's Finance Department issues occupational tax certificates, which it also calls business licenses. The license amount is your anticipated gross receipts multiplied by the tax rate, and some businesses also pay a regulatory fee. A $50 processing fee is added on top. The city provides a zoning verification request form with the application.
A P.O. box can't be your business location, because state law only lets cities tax businesses with an office or location inside them. Owners with 10 or fewer full-time employees are exempt from E-Verify but must show the city proof of that exemption before the license is issued.
All licenses expire December 31, and renewal notices go out starting in October. You can renew online, by mail or in person. A new name or owner needs a new application at no fee, while a move costs $10. Questions go to 678-449-3078.
