About each permit
General Business License — City of Raleigh position
No fee. The City's Starting a New Business page states that, effective July 1, 2015, the City of Raleigh no longer requires a business license to operate a business within the Raleigh city limits, because the North Carolina General Assembly passed House Bill 1050, which eliminated the authority of municipalities to levy a business license tax. The same page says other local licenses and permits may still be required depending on the nature of the business, and directs owners to Revenue Services at 919-996-3200.
