Receipts times class, plus $50
Fairburn is a south Fulton County city, and it issues occupation tax certificates only to businesses inside its limits; unincorporated Fulton goes to the county. Anyone doing business in the city registers and pays occupational tax, home occupations included. The application is online, and City Hall is at 56 Malone Street.
Your NAICS code sets a tax class from 1 to 6. Multiply estimated gross receipts by the class rate, from .00060 for class 1 to .00120 for class 6, and add the $50 administrative fee. New businesses estimate receipts from opening through December 31, and the figure is corrected at renewal. Architects, dentists, engineers and other listed professions may pay $400 per practitioner instead.
Bring a photo ID, your EIN, a sales tax number if retail, state licensure if applicable and a lease or proof of ownership. Commercial businesses also need a Fire Department compliance certificate and a building inspection. A certificate isn't zoning approval, so confirm compliance with Planning and Zoning (770-964-2244, ext. 305).
Non-citizens add a residency card, front and back, and restaurants need a food permit. Disabled veterans can apply for an exemption. Some regulated businesses face other fees and checks, such as background checks or proof of insurance, and alcohol license tax is due on or before November 1.
