All Businesses in the City of Fort Oglethorpe are required to have a business license.
- A new business license must be issued if a business changes owners, classification, or location.
- A business license may NOT be transferred from one owner to another.
- For new businesses needing to know their class or if you have questions, please call 706-866-2544 ext. 1200.
Every building within the city must have a Certificate of Occupancy to operate.
If the building is changing occupancy, classification, or modifications, plans must be submitted to our Building Official and then to the Fire Marshal’s office. To obtain a Certificate of Occupancy, our building inspectors must inspect the business location at a cost of $20. Upon passing the inspection, the business can start the application process.
Business license applications are available only at City Hall.
