South Fulton takes business license applications online only, and every business needs a city fire inspection. Home businesses are the main exception.
Online only, fire-inspected
South Fulton is a city in Fulton County, and its business rules apply only inside city limits. The City of South Fulton requires every business, including LLCs and professional corporations, to register and get an occupation tax certificate. Applications are filed online through SagesGov, and the Business License Department doesn't accept them in person. If you need help, you email the department to set up a meeting.
The city says fire inspections are required for all businesses, and you schedule yours with the South Fulton Fire Department after any repairs are done. Home-based businesses skip it unless customers come to the home, as with day cares. Home businesses still need a license and must follow the home occupation rules.
Licenses run January 1 to December 31. The renewal deadline is March 31, and from April 1 the city adds a 10% penalty plus 1.5% interest per month. Applicants supply ID, proof of address, an EIN or Georgia taxpayer ID, a notarized E-Verify affidavit and any state license, and should confirm zoning first.
