Business License Information
Every person engaged or intending to engage in any calling, business, occupation or profession listed in the rate
classification index portion of this article, in whole or in part, within the limits of the City of Cayce, South Carolina, is
required to pay an annual license and obtain a business license as herein provided.
The fee you will pay is based on your class code. Your business type determines your NAICS code, which indicates which
Class Code you are in for the business license. You can find a list of NAICS codes on their website,
https://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. The information for business licenses is available on our web site,
http://www.cityofcayce-sc.gov/business.asp under the Business License section. The Business License year for the
City
of Cayce is June 1, 2020- April 30, 2021.
All Contractors are required to submit a copy of their South Carolina Labor License and Regulation card in order to obtain
a business license.
The first time a business license is applied for, the gross is based on the estimated gross income you anticipate in the City
of Cayce for the remaining months in our business license year.
All business licenses renew on June 1st regardless of when it was first purchased for the In-City businesses or Out-of-City
businesses that pay license fees annually. A 5% penalty per month is enforced if paid after May 31. Out-of-City businesses
and contractors are required to obtain or renew their license prior to starting any job after June 1.
When licenses renew on June 1, if you have not been in business for a full year, the total gross is calculated by taking
the
money collected during the portion of the year the business was open and estimating that number over 12 months.
The next year your gross is the actual total gross in the City of Cayce based on the previous calendar year as reported on
your tax return (Jan. – Dec.).
If your business had $0 income for the previous year, you are still required to renew at least for the base fee OR terminate
your business license. Income tax return is required for renewal.
You are responsible for letting us know if you have closed your business or moved. If you wish to close your
business license with the City of Cayce you will need to provide us with a written request that is signed and dated in
