Code of Alabama
Part 1 - License Commissioner.
Section 45-42-200.05 - Business License.

Before any person, firm, or corporation shall engage in or carry on any business activity or other non-business activity in the county for which a license is required by law, a license for such activity must be purchased from the commissioner and he or she shall be entitled to charge a fee, not to exceed two dollars ($2) for the issuance of such license, as shall be determined by the county commission. All costs, fees, and penalties which shall have accrued or for which person, firm, or corporation shall have become liable in any proceeding commenced for the collection of same shall be paid before any such license is eligible for renewal. The commissioner shall issue the license countersigned by him or her in the form and on the blank furnished to him or her by the State Department of Finance which shall set forth and specify the name of the person, firm, or the corporation applying therefor, the business or activity which it proposes to carry on thereunder, the address where it proposes to carry on the same, the time for which it is issued, and if the license is for a peddler, it shall state whether he or she proposed to travel on foot, on horseback, or on wagon, or on motor vehicle. Such license shall not be transferable except as otherwise provided by law, nor shall it entitle the holder thereof to carry on any other business or do any other act other than that named therein at any other location than that specified; provided, however, that should it become necessary to move any business from one location to another location in the county, and such business is to continue in the same kind and character and by the same person or firm as that carried on at the former location, then, another license shall not be required for the same license year.
