Each business in
Decatur must renew its business license for 2013 by paying its annual
occupation tax bill by Jan. 31. Bills were
originally mailed on Nov. 30.
In addition to the
renewal payment, state law also requires businesses to file two notarized
immigration-related affidavits (SAVE and E-verify) annually with the city they
receive their license from. You can
submit your payment and affidavits by mail to P.O. Box 220, Decatur, GA 30031 or in person at 509 N. McDonough St.
If you did not receive
your bill, or if you received a bill but are no longer doing business in the city,
please let us know.
Occupation tax bills in
Decatur can range from $195 up to $460 annually. Unlike many local governments in Georgia that
tax businesses on their gross receipts, Decatur uses a simpler system of six
flat rates. Revenues from occupation
taxes go to the City’s general fund, which is used to provide quality services
to the public.
More information about
business licensing in Decatur can be found on our website here. Decatur’s business license rules apply to persons,
partnerships, corporations and other entities including home-based businesses,
state-licensed professionals, insurance carriers, and regular businesses. City ordinances require local businesses to
display their license in a place that’s easy to see.
