All businesses engaging in, or intending to engage in, any calling, business, occupation, or profession, either in whole or in part, within the limits of the Town of South Congaree are required to obtain a Town Business License. An annual license tax must be paid for the privilege of conducting business within the Town.

The license fee is calculated based on the gross income generated during the preceding calendar year from business activity conducted within the Town of South Congaree.

No deductions from gross income are permitted except for:

• Income generated wholly outside the municipality on which a license tax has been paid to another municipality or county

• Taxes collected on behalf of a government entity

• Income excluded from taxation under State or Federal law

​

Business License Renewals

• All Town Business Licenses expire on April 30 each year.

• The deadline to renew without penalties is April 30.

Annual license fees are based on the business’s gross receipts or gross revenue, or projected gross revenue for new businesses.

To renew or apply:

1. Print and complete a Business License application.

2. Submit the completed application to Town Hall.

3. Ensure all required documentation is included to avoid processing delays.

​​

Payment Information

• Do not mail cash payments.

• Payments may be made by company check or cashier’s check.

The Town makes every effort to send renewal reminders; however, it is the business owner’s responsibility to renew the license annually, whether or not a reminder is received. Please mark your calendar to avoid penalties.
