Orangeburg websites for Orangeburg County trades

Everyone on the job is licensed

Orangeburg is the Orangeburg County seat. Everyone doing business in whole or in part inside city limits pays an annual license tax, and new businesses need a valid business location. Applications are online or at 1099 Russell Street, and the Finance Department is at (803) 539-3750.

Bring the application, photo ID, any lease, copies of state, ABL or contractor licenses, an emergency contact, and Building Official and Fire Marshal approvals. Display the license where customers can see it; contractors and mobile businesses carry a copy while working. Each location or kind of business needs its own license.

Contractors and subcontractors each pay on their own gross income. General contractors must tell subs about licensing or send the Revenue Coordinator a sub list, and anyone you hire for remodeling, painting, lawn work, plumbing or electrical needs a city license. Call to verify a license for a job. Food businesses need DHEC approval.

New businesses pay on projected income through April 30, with no deductions for rent, salaries or cost of goods. Licenses run May 1 to April 30; 5% applies May 1 and 5% more each month. Renewals may need tax returns for income verification. For 2026-2027, Class 1 began at $40 for the first $2,000 plus $1.15 per $1,000.
