Greer charges 5% a month on late business license tax, and it says plainly that penalties won't be waived.
Two counties, one license
Greer sits in both Greenville County and Spartanburg County, so check the city's GIS map to confirm an address is inside city limits. Anyone doing business for gain in Greer, in whole or in part, pays an annual license tax and holds a city license.
The tax uses your NAICS code and gross revenue earned inside Greer; new businesses use projected first-year revenue. Resident and nonresident fees come from the city's rate schedule. Get a license at City Hall, 301 E. Poinsett Street, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or fill out the Business License Information Sheet online or by email to [email protected].
Only resident businesses need a certificate of occupancy, and nonprofits may be asked for federal tax returns. A home business applies for a Home Occupation permit in the eTRAKiT online permitting system and notifies the business license department.
Renewal fees are due on or before April 30, and late tax draws 5% a month. Partial payments are accepted, but no license is issued until everything is paid. Renewals also work in the state's Local Business License Renewal Center from March through May 30. Phone (864) 968-7045.
