The State of Alabama, Jefferson County and The City of Pinson require all persons, firms, or corporations that engage in or transact any trade, business, commerce, occupation, vocation or profession for gain or profit to pay a license fee.

You may need a State License, a Jefferson County License, City of Pinson License or a combination of the three depending on the nature of your business. You must obtain a business license prior to opening your business.

License fees are determined by the exact nature and type of your business. You should contact Jefferson County Revenue Department's Examiner Section at (205) 325-5186 for more information. Some licenses require State Regulatory Permits in order to issue, such as auto dealers, food establishments, and air conditioning contractors. Contact the City of Pinson to request a Business License Application Packet.
