Grovetown's license math is simple: $25 to apply, plus $25 per full-time and $12.50 per part-time employee. Renewal fees are due December 31.

Priced per employee

Grovetown is a Columbia County city, and a city occupational license is required to do business inside its limits. Planning and Community Development at 103 Old Wrightsboro Road helps applicants complete the form and obtain other city-required clearances or permits (706-863-4576, ext. 313).

Step one is verifying zoning: your location is classed as commercial/industrial or residential (home-based). Commercial and industrial businesses get the pre-license checklist, schedule and pass a pre-license inspection, then submit the application. Home occupations complete the application, read and sign the Home Occupation Ordinance, and submit both.

Every application pays a $25 administrative fee, plus $25 for each full-time and $12.50 for each part-time employee. Display the license prominently once you have it. Renewal fees are due December 31 each year. Signs need a separate permit: $85 per sign including inspection, plus $45 per sign for electrical work.

For a service business, the practical order is zoning check, inspection if you have a shop or office, then paperwork and payment. Crews working from home skip the inspection but still sign the ordinance. Sign Standards sit in Appendix C of the city code, worth reading before ordering a truck-yard or storefront sign.
