Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit the occupational tax application?
- Complete the application and required affidavits, then return them to Deborah Gilbert, City Clerk, at Madison City Hall. The form says an invoice is issued after the application is returned and approved.
- Do I need to notarize the entire application?
- The form includes jurat blocks for the E-Verify and SAVE affidavits. The SAVE affidavit is marked for new business applicants and legal resident aliens; check which affidavits apply to your application.
- Can I use an online notary for these affidavits?
- Georgia has no remote online notarization statute of its own; Georgia law recognizes acknowledgments taken by notaries of other states (O.C.G.A. §44-2-21). Because these form blocks call for sworn jurats, confirm with the city if unsure whether it accepts online notarization.
