Bulloch County, Georgia

Statesboro websites for Bulloch County service pros

In Statesboro, two approvals come before the application: a zoning letter from the city's Planning Department and an address check from Bulloch County. Then a fire inspection.

Zoning, address check, then fire inspection

The city asks new businesses to submit an OTC Zoning Certificate Letter Request and a Business License Address Verification first. Once the Statesboro Planning Department and Bulloch County Addressing approve them, you file your application with the Tax Office at City Hall, 50 East Main Street.

The application says a business must have its certificate before conducting business. The Fire Official inspects every location even if no special uses apply, and violations must be fixed and re-inspected before the certificate is issued. Anyone licensed by a state examining board must show current licensure.

Fees on the application are a $40 application fee and a $95 administration fee, plus $20 per full-time equivalent employee. To get that count, add all weekly employee hours, divide by 40, and count owners as full-time. All licenses expire December 31, and renewals are due before January 31 to avoid late penalties.
