Gwinnett County, Georgia

Snellville websites for eastside Gwinnett pros

Snellville takes business license applications in person only, so check your address first. Four zip codes say Snellville, but not every address in them is in the city.

In person, inside the line

Snellville says it must verify your physical address is inside city limits before issuing an Occupational Tax Certificate. Zip codes 30078, 30017, 30039 and 30052 carry Snellville addresses, but some of those addresses are outside the city. Use the city's 'Am I in the City?' lookup or call Planning, and have your lease, driver's license and any professional license ready.

The commercial packet must be submitted in person; electronic submittals aren't accepted. It includes a notarized U.S. Citizen/Qualified Alien affidavit and, for businesses that collect it, a Georgia sales and use tax form. Fees are collected when the complete packet is accepted, by Visa, MasterCard, check or cash, and processing takes five business days.

New commercial businesses also deal with the Gwinnett County Fire Marshal's certificate of occupancy. Licenses expire December 31, and the renewal window runs January 1 through March 31. Home businesses follow separate minimum standards.

If you close or move out of the city, the Planning Department asks you to email the business name, owner, closing date and any new address so it can inactivate your record. Moves within Snellville go through Planning too. For a contractor, keeping that record current matches what your website says about where you work.
