Sugar Hill licenses expire January 31, and renewal packets go out in early December. Fees are based on gross receipts and your business class.
January 31, every year
Every business inside Sugar Hill city limits must apply for an Occupational Tax Certificate every year. Sugar Hill is in Gwinnett County, and commercial applicants need an inspection and certificate of occupancy from the Gwinnett County Fire Marshal's office. The fee is based on gross receipts and the tax rate for your business class.
You also check with Planning and Development on whether you need a city building or safety inspection. New businesses, and those changing names, changing owners or moving, need a new certificate of occupancy. Restaurants and food trucks need Gwinnett County Health approval.
Renewal packets are mailed in early December. You update the form, fill in gross receipts or the number of professionals, and return it by January 31; the city then sends an invoice, and the new certificate is mailed after payment. Packets go to 5039 West Broad Street or by email, and the Occupational Tax Clerk is at 770-945-6716.
If you have questions about the process, the city asks you to email the occupational tax address or call the clerk. For a contractor, the short version is: confirm city limits and zoning, get the county fire certificate for a commercial space, then file.
