About each permit
BPOL Tax
Per the city's own BPOL Tax Exemption document, a percentage rate by classification applies above a gross-receipts threshold instead of the $50 minimum. The Commissioner of the Revenue's BPOL Tax Exemption page, the city's Business License Tax page and its Local Tax Rates page all describe the structure — 'the tax rate varies according to the classification of the business' — without printing the table of rates itself; the table is codified in Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances. Contact the Commissioner of the Revenue at 757-382-6738 for the rate that applies to a given classification. A required Application for Zoning Approval must accompany any business license for a trade location.
