Braselton Fines Business License Dodgers $500

January 17, 2012

49 local businesses were fined an additional $500 for failing to pay their Braselton, GA business occupational taxes by December 31, 2011. Braselton, GA business license fees were due by Nov. 15. After warning incompliant businesses in person about the consequences of filing late, town officials informed the businesses about the $500 fine that must now be paid in addition to business license taxes.

Three of the incompliant businesses asked the city to waive the $500 fee. Barrow Journal reports that their excuses ranged from “not receiving the renewal notices, being out of town to misplacing the paperwork.”

Town officials decided that the businesses will not be excused from the $500 fee and that the fee must be paid in order for the businesses to qualify for business license renewals.

Aside for the three businesses discussed, two more businesses renewed their business licenses and paid the $500 fine while the remaining 44 remain at large.
