What this form is
Acworth uses this application to review a business’s location, property use, ownership, services, products, and estimated gross receipts before issuing an occupational tax certificate. Applicants provide supporting documents and complete affidavits about the application’s accuracy, public-benefit eligibility, and private-employer status. The form outlines additional reviews that may apply, including zoning, fire, building, and food-service approvals. Submitting the application does not approve the business to open; the certificate must be obtained before opening.
