The initial license fee is $15.00. If a business is located within the city limits of a municipality, the business is also required to hold a city license, which can be obtained at city hall. If the business has gross receipts totaling $3,000.00 or less, the business is not subject to hold a business license. A business planning to gross between $3,000.00 and $100,000.00 per year may apply for a Minimal Activity License, which is renewable yearly at the clerk\u2019s office for a fee of $15.00 and no tax payments are made to the Department of Revenue.\u00a0<\/p><p>For more information regarding the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tn.gov\/content\/dam\/tn\/revenue\/documents\/notices\/business\/bus23-08.pdf\">Tennessee Works Tax Act please click here<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Business Classifications<br \/><\/strong>There are 5 classifications based on the activities of the business.
