Gwinnett County, Georgia
Lawrenceville websites for Gwinnett service businesses
Lawrenceville licenses expire March 1, not December 31. A Lawrenceville mailing address also doesn't mean you're inside the city.
A March 1 license year
The city says a business must be located inside city limits to get a license, and a Lawrenceville mailing address doesn't prove that. All businesses in the city need a current Business License/Occupation Tax Certificate. Renewals go through the Licensing, Permits, and Plans (LPP) portal, and licenses expire every March 1. Not getting a renewal notice doesn't excuse a late payment.
Commercial businesses start with a fire Certificate of Occupancy from Gwinnett County. Then they apply for a Tenant Space - Tenant Name Change permit with a floor plan. If it's approved, you pay $150 and schedule the inspection, and once it passes the city emails your Certificate of Occupancy within one to two business days.
After that you submit the occupational tax application. The city offers a calculator that estimates your tax from your NAICS code and gross receipts for the next three years. Questions go to the occupation tax office at 70 S Clayton Street, 678-407-6401.
