Fayette County, Georgia
Fayetteville websites for Fayette County trades
Fayetteville bills you only after Zoning, Water, Fire and Building approve your application. Don't send the $75 administrative fee up front.
Approved first, billed second
Fayetteville is in Fayette County, and every business inside its limits needs a current city occupational tax certificate. You choose the General, Home or Professional application, estimate gross revenue from opening through December 31, and submit online, by mail or in person at 210 Stonewall Avenue West.
Each application goes to the Zoning, Water, Fire and Building departments, plus the Fayette County Health Department for food service. The city contacts you when the license is ready and you pay at pickup. A $75 nonrefundable administrative fee applies to every account and is credited against the tax. Changes of occupancy and assembly uses need professionally prepared plans.
Certificates expire December 31. Renewal notices go out 60 days ahead, payment is due by March 31, and a 10% failure-to-pay fee follows, with citations from May 1. Licenses don't transfer to a new owner, and moving within the city means a new application with fresh approvals.
The Private Employer Affidavit and the citizenship affidavit must be notarized, and notaries are available at City Hall. Employers with more than ten employees need an E-Verify number. Most interior or exterior changes to the building need permits, and signs need their own city permit.
