Business License/Occupational Tax Certificate

I am a business owner. Do I need an account to renew my Occupational Tax Certificate, also known as a Business License?

Yes, you will need to create an account in the Permitting & Licensing HUB to renew your license, and the email account you use to register needs to match the email associated with the current Business License.

In order to facilitate this new service, the City of Roswell needs to update the email address on file for each business. Without an email address, you will be unable to renew your business license. Please submit the Business License Renewal Contact Information Form by November 30, 2025.
