Business Licensing

All Businesses in the City of Fort Oglethorpe are required to have a business license and every building within the city must have a Certificate of Occupancy in order to operate. Business license applications are available online or at City Hall.

If the building is changing occupancy, classification or modifications are being made to the building, plans must be submitted to our Building Official and then to the Fire Marshal’s office. To obtain a Certificate of Occupancy, an inspection is required at the business location by our building inspectors; the inspection cost is $20. Upon passing inspection, the business can start the application process.

If a business is changing owners, classification or location, a new business license must be issued. A business license may NOT be transferred from one owner to another. For new businesses needing to know what class they are or if you have questions, please call 706-866-2544 ext. 1200 before you submit the form.
