Tega Cay licenses run May 1 to April 30, and the fee is due before you start operating in the city.
Pay before you start
Tega Cay is a lakeside city in York County on Lake Wylie. Every person or business working within city limits, in whole or in part, pays an annual license fee and holds a business license. Licenses are issued per license year, May 1 through April 30, and fees are due before you begin operating.
New applications and renewals go through the city's online licensing portal; you'll need an account, so don't create a duplicate, and turn off your pop-up blocker. The portal has tutorials for license renewal and hospitality tax. Business Licensing Services is at City Hall, 7725 Tega Cay Drive, (803) 548-3513, [email protected].
What you owe depends on your NAICS code's class and your gross receipts. The state listing for 2026-2027 put the lowest class at a $25 base covering $2,000 of income, with $2.00 for each added thousand until revenue reaches $1 million; base amounts step up by class, to $30 in Class 2, $40 in Class 4 and $55 in Class 7. Firms based beyond city limits owe twice the computed tax, and expenses or goods sold can't be subtracted.
Last spring's renewal deadline was April 30, 2026; a renewal paid in May drew a 5% charge, and that charge grew by another 5 points every month after.
