Summary

Officials said the business license and alcohol office is assembling a new team and a "welcome package" to support new and returning businesses, handle temporary licenses and short-term rentals, and improve compliance assistance.

Njoku said DeKalb County is strengthening the business-license division to better support commercial and home-based businesses, review alcohol-license applications and handle short-term rental and late-night establishment regulations. She described a coordinated team creating a "welcome package" to help businesses navigate license and tax certification requirements.

The director said having an up-to-date business-license registry allows the county to connect businesses with other government and nonprofit resources and supports economic development. "Business license division allows us to be able to know where our businesses are to be able to provide the business with support and to be able to open you up to opportunities," she said.
