Business Closure / Transfer Form
Current business owners use this form to report a business closure or transfer and calculate year-to-date taxes due to the City of Newnan.
What this form is
This form closes a local city business license when a business closes or is sold or transferred; submitting it does not necessarily mean the business is permanently closed. It asks for business status and details, closure or transfer date, year-to-date gross receipts, tax calculations, and the current owner’s certification. A business operating on January 1 may still be subject to personal property taxes for that year.
