Flat $65 at home
Holly Springs is a Cherokee County city, and its Community Development Department handles occupation tax registration from City Hall at 3237 Holly Springs Parkway. Before you apply, the Zoning Administrator reviews a Zoning Clearance Certificate, which takes one business day and carries a $5 filing fee credited against your tax. Commercial locations also need a building inspection for occupancy and code compliance.
On the application, home-based sole proprietors and businesses with up to two employees, owner included, pay $65. With three or more, it's $30 per employee plus a $30 administrative fee, counting part-timers as half, up to $6,000. Professionals pay $300 each, and regulated activities like contractors pay $100 a year or $25 per job. New businesses pay 90% after July 1, 75% after October 1 and 50% from December 1.
Home-based businesses must stay inside the dwelling, use no more than 25% of the floor area or 500 square feet, and keep business vehicles to one. Auto repair and detailing, tow trucks and major appliance repair can't run from home, though a home office may qualify. Licenses expire December 31; late payments draw 1.5% a month plus a one-time 10% after 60 days.
