Hardeeville can assess up to $250 against a business caught working without a license, and subs need their own first.

Approvals before the license

Hardeeville spans Jasper and Beaufort Counties. Any business located in the city or doing work there, home-based businesses included, buys a license each year, valid May 1 through April 30. Temporary one-time licenses cover a single event or job.

Every new license is approved by Planning, Building and Fire before it's issued, and buildings must meet building and fire codes; renovations need building permits. Send the application with a copy of your current state license, the owner's photo ID, your retail sales tax license and DHEC approval where they apply, plus a certificate of occupancy or zoning permit if needed.

Contractors on a one-time project license include a copy of the contract. List every sub on the roster: each needs a current Hardeeville license before starting work, and operating without one can bring a penalty up to $250. Ownership or address changes require written notice and may trigger Planning review and a Fire inspection.

Renew through the city's Permit and License portal or the state renewal center with your FEIN and NAICS code; email, mail and walk-in renewals may be slower. Notices go out the first week of February. Online payments carry a 3% convenience fee. For 2026-2027, Class 1 was $50 on the first $100,000, and penalties rose 10% a month from May 1 to 50% in September.
