About each permit
Occupational License Tax — Professionals
Veterinary practice is a licensed profession, which this record treats as falling under the Professionals class; the city's published table does not name veterinary practice specifically, so confirm this classification with the Revenue Division before relying on it.
Occupational License Tax — Retail, Sales, Service and Rentals
The city's published rate table names seven generic business classes — Retail, Sales, Service, Rentals; Wholesale Dealers; Contractors; Lending Business; Commission/Brokerage; Public Utilities; Professionals — without further definition; the page's own scope statement covers only 'any and all businesses, trades, professions, occupations, vocations, or callings unless specifically excluded by law.' This record applies the class whose own name — retail, sales, service and rentals — plainly covers a restaurant, retail store, salon, auto repair shop, or fitness studio. Confirm an unusual case with the Revenue Division (318-673-5500). A Certificate of Occupancy must generally be obtained before this license is issued.
Occupational License Tax — Contractors
On top of, not instead of, the state contractors board license recorded at the state layer.
