Business, Professional & Occupation Licenses (BPOL)
Businesses in King George County that gross more than $2,500 a year are required to get a King George County business license. To obtain a King George County Business License, please see the New Business Checklist.
Business licenses are assessed on an annual basis. Renewal applications must be filed and paid for by March 1 of each year. A business that holds a license is subject to the business license tax. This tax is a local license tax that the county can implement separately from state licenses and taxes.
