About each permit
Municipal Business License
The City's Schedule of Licenses, which sets the NAICS-code-by-NAICS-code percentage rate above this floor, sits in the City Code on Municode; the City's business-license pages cited here do not reproduce those rates. Confirm the actual rate for a specific classification with the Revenue Department (251-208-7462) before budgeting for anything beyond the floor. A restaurant/food business must also present an MCHD inspection report, and a business inside city limits must present a Zoning Approval Certificate and a Fire Inspection Report, before this license issues.
