The city says every business inside McDonough must get an Occupational Tax Certificate and renew it each year. Zip codes 30252 and 30253 carry McDonough addresses but may fall outside the city, so call Community Development at 678-432-4622 to confirm your location and zoning. Inside the city you don't need a Henry County certificate.
Home and commercial businesses must register within 30 days of starting. Georgia requires a notarized affidavit of lawful presence every year, and the city notarizes it free. You'll bring a driver's license plus a birth certificate or U.S. passport. Home businesses show a Georgia license with an in-city address; commercial ones add incorporation papers and any state license.
Certificates lapse every December 31, and renewal season opens October 1. You get a grace period through January 15, after which the city adds late fees. Nonprofits with a 501(c) letter and disabled veterans with an exemption certificate don't pay. The city says complete applications are often issued the same day.
