Hall County, Georgia
Gainesville, Georgia websites for Hall County trades
Gainesville, Georgia handles business occupation tax through an online portal, and renewals are due January 15. Get your application in, then launch a site that matches it.
An online portal and a January deadline
Gainesville is a Hall County city. The city's code requires a business occupation tax certificate for both commercial and home-based businesses. New applications and renewals go through the city's online portal, and a change of ownership means starting a new application.
Out-of-state contractors need a business occupation tax certificate from a Georgia jurisdiction to pull permits. If they don't have one and work in Gainesville, they need the city's.
Employee counts use full-time equivalents: add up everyone's weekly hours, owners included, divide by 40 and round. If you're buying an existing business, the portal says a change of ownership means a new application, so plan your launch around that.
