Business Licenses

Business License Fees are based upon gross receipts and the tax rate imposed varies according to category.  Anyone conducting a business with gross receipts over $1,000.00 may be required to obtain a business license.  Out-of-county contractors with a total of over $25,000.00 gross receipts in Surry County may be required to obtain a business license.

Renewal application packages are mailed to existing businesses in January of each year.  Renewals are due on or before March 1 of each year.
