In East Point, a commercial business needs its certificate of occupancy first, then has 30 days to get a business license or the CO becomes invalid.
CO first, license within 30 days
East Point is in Fulton County, and these rules apply to businesses inside the city. East Point computes its business tax from employees (including the owner), gross receipts, a $50 minimum flat tax and a $75 administrative fee. The gross receipts tax applies per $1,000 over $10,000 using one of six classes and is capped at $3 million in receipts. One employee adds $30. Practitioners may pay $400 plus the admin and employee fees instead.
Every commercial business in the city must have its own commercial certificate of occupancy, even when two businesses share a suite, and the landlord needs one too. After the CO is issued, you have 30 days to apply for and obtain a business license, or the CO becomes invalid.
New and renewal applications go through the BS&A portal or email. Some businesses that need a city investigation or inspection pay regulatory fees on top. The fee schedule lists March 31 as the renewal date. Out-of-state businesses with no Georgia location working in the city are also taxed.
