What this form is
Every business that holds a Leesburg occupational tax certificate must file this renewal each year. Built into the form is a SAVE affidavit under O.C.G.A. §50-36-1, sworn by the applicant as a U.S. citizen or lawfully present alien, followed by a Private Employer Affidavit under O.C.G.A. §36-60-6 covering the business's use of E-Verify. Both sections end in a notary jurat block.
Who needs it
Business owners in Leesburg renewing an existing occupational tax certificate/business license.
Why it needs a notary
The form ends each affidavit section with 'SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN BEFORE ME' and a notary signature/commission-expiration block, so both sworn statements must be completed in front of a notary.
