About each permit
Garden City Occupational Tax Certificate
A business locating inside Garden City, one of Chatham County's eight incorporated municipalities, needs Garden City's own Occupational Tax Certificate in addition to (inside Garden City, in place of) the county's version — this is a separate municipal regime, not a relabeling of the county one. The city's own page states that a Certificate of Occupancy from Garden City's own Planning and Zoning department is required first: 'this process needs to be completed before the Occupational Tax Certificate process can begin.' The gross-receipts-rate-plus-$150-administration-fee structure and the December 31 expiration are both read directly from Garden City's own Occupational Taxes & Licensing page.
