Business Licenses
Acquiring a business license is an important step in the life of a business. A license gives your business credibility, protects you from certain liability, and enables you to file business taxes separate from personal taxes.
A business license (Occupational Tax Certificate) is required for any business in the City of Lilburn, regardless of the size of the business or whether it is operated at a residence or commercial location. Licenses must be renewed on January 31 each year.
How to Apply
- Contact Business Services at 770-921-2210 to verify zoning requirements for the type of business to be established and to apply for a City of Lilburn Certificate of Occupancy
- Obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from Gwinnett County Fire Marshal
- Business Services can also assist in determining any additional licensing requirements
- Complete the New Business License Application
- Please reference the checklist for items needed to submit a complete application.
If your business is located in the Lilburn city limits, you do not need to obtain a business license from Gwinnett County.
