Kennesaw needs a zoning verification before it will even accept a license application, and the minimum fee is $80. Renewals are due March 31.
Zoning before the application
Kennesaw lies in north Cobb County. The city says anyone working for profit inside Kennesaw city limits needs a Business License/Occupational Tax Certificate for each location before starting. You complete a Zoning Verification-Certificate of Occupancy Confirmation form first. Commercial locations need a Certificate of Occupancy from Building Services, after fire and building inspections.
Occupation taxes are based on gross receipts and your SIC business class, plus a $55 administrative fee, with an $80 minimum. Some professionals can pay $400 per registered professional instead. Non-sole proprietors need a federal tax ID, and state-licensed businesses provide their state license. Home businesses sign a statement about residency restrictions.
Renewals are due March 31. Payments after that get a 10% penalty plus 1.5% interest a month. You can fax a completed application to 770-429-4559, and the office will tell you the fee and any extra paperwork.
