Doing business in Atlanta: where to read the city's rules

The City of Atlanta has its own business licence and permit requirements. They change from time to time, so go to the source.

Business licence questions. If your business needs a city business licence, the City of Atlanta's website explains how to apply and renew.

Permits for building work. If your work needs a permit, the city's building department lists the process online.

Name your neighborhood clearly. Customers search by neighborhood names such as Midtown, Buckhead or East Atlanta. Use the one they would use.

Update after any change. A new phone or address should reach every listing the same week.
