Instructions:
1. Locate the type of business that you will be operating. Note: Not all businesses require a state/county business license. Check with the city to determine if a city license is required.
2. "Code Section(s) Required" refer(s) to the Code Section as identified in Title 40, Chapter 12, Code of Alabama 1975, as amended.
3. Multiple licenses may be required based upon your business operations. For example, if operating a restaurant, a Section 40-12-151 restaurant license, a Section 40-12-69 beverage license and a Section 40-12-315 store license may be required. See Notes and Possible Code Sections for each type of business.
4. If your industry is regulated by a board, commission, association, etc., you may be required to present their certification prior to receiving the state/county business license. For a listing of all state boards and agencies that regulate the licensing of businesses or occupations in Alabama, please visit the Department's website at .
5. Licenses must be renewed each year by October 31, or a 15 percent penalty plus interest will be applied.
6. This guide was prepared to assist county licensing officials as well as business owners/operators. It is not intended for this guide to replace or set forth any regulations pertaining to the business license statutes.
