Hi livia3,
The following is the result of my research for obtaining a business
license in Fairfax County, Virginia:
"...Depending on the type of business, you may be required to obtain
additional licenses and/or permits. If you are planning to operate the
business under a name other than your own, you will need to register
with the Clerk of Court. In addition, you must file for business
personal property taxes. The following information is a summary of
information relevant to beginning a new business in Fairfax County..."
"Businesses located in the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church, and the
towns of Clifton, Herndon, and Vienna are not subject to County BPOL
tax, but should check with those jurisdictions for license tax
requirements. Businesses located in the towns of Clifton, Herndon, and
Vienna are required to file tangible personal property with the
County."
New businesses must file a business license application within 75 days
