An occupational license is issued by the Tax Collector for the privilege of operating a business.
Some businesses also are subject to county zoning codes and state regulations.
Occupational licenses expire September 30 and may be renewed on or after August 1. On October 1 they are delinquent and subject to penalties each month thereafter. New licenses are issued at any time during the year and are prorated April 1, at which time half-year fees apply. Any change made in a license status, such as an address, ownership or name change must be reported to the Tax Collector's Office. Public access to information about new businesses is required by law.
