Each business owner in Tennessee is required to have a County Business License. The cost in Hamilton County is $20 and is renewable annually. If the business is located within a municipality, a city license will also be needed. Cost for licenses in GA cities is based on the type of business. Business licenses must be obtained within 20 days after the business opens. When a business closes, it is necessary to file a final return within 15 days. Anyone purchasing a business should be certain final returns have been filed by the previous owner or the new owner may be liable for any tax due. Exempt companies are those grossing less than $3,000 a year, doctors, dentists, veterinarians, attorneys, accountants, schools, religious organizations, insurance agents, loan companies, security exchanges or public utilities.
