Local Business Tax Receipt Information 

Many people ask about local business tax receipts formerly known as Occupational Licenses:

• A local business tax receipt is not a license at all. It is non regulatory tax by which a local government grants the privilege of engaging in or managing any business, profession or occupation.
• A person who holds a local business tax receipt as a “HANDYMAN” cannot perform any phases of construction. They can only perform work such as rescreening, tile, carpet and linoleum installation, changing door locks and light bulbs, cleaning gutters, window tinting and painting.
