Riverdale wants renewal applications by September 30, months before fees are due on December 31. The minimum tax is $100.

Renew early

Riverdale is a Clayton County city, and every business there renews an occupational tax permit each year. A new application needs a $75 nonrefundable administrative fee covering occupational tax and zoning review, or $25 for tax-exempt businesses. You also complete a detailed zoning questionnaire with a floor plan description.

Food service businesses need a Clayton County health score and food service certificate before the city releases the license. The renewal tax is estimated gross receipts times your class rate: .000778 for retail and food service, .001556 for construction and waste services, .002334 for professional and health services, and .002723 for finance and real estate. If the result is under $100, you pay $100.

Renewals add a $50 administrative fee and, where applicable, a $100 business regulatory fee. Renewal applications are due September 30, and fees by December 31 to avoid penalties and interest. Include notarized affidavits, a photo ID, any state license, and proof you've paid other city bills such as taxes and sanitation.

Manufacturing and arts businesses fall in class 2 at .001167, and class 4 currently has no business types. Professionals leave the rate line blank and use the professional fee. The city takes cash, check and major cards for the application fee, and the form asks whether you're a commercial, residential or contractor location.
