What is Business License Account Closure Form – Gwinnett County, GA?
The Business License Account Closure Form, printed on the PDF as the Business Account Closure Form, is the Gwinnett County form an authorized person completes to close a business account with Licensing & Revenue after the business stops operating or moves.
The form carries the letterhead of the Gwinnett County Department of Planning and Development and is submitted to Gwinnett County Licensing & Revenue for processing. It collects four kinds of information: the business information the county has on file (account or certificate number, complete business name (DBA) and business location address); a requested mailing address; the date the business stopped operating or moved from the jurisdiction; and the final Georgia gross revenue from the Gwinnett location, supported by a Profit and Loss statement.
It ends with a certification by the person signing that they hold an authorizing position in the business and that the information is true and correct. The form states that all fields are required and that incomplete or illegible forms will not be processed.
The county's Planning and Development services page lists separate items for closing a business, relocating a business, renewing a business license and applying for a business license. This form is the closure document, not an application or a renewal.
Who needs to file Business License Account Closure Form – Gwinnett County, GA?
The main group is the owner or officer of a business with an account at Gwinnett County Licensing & Revenue who wants that account closed because the business stopped operating or moved from the jurisdiction.
The person completing the form must be able to certify that they are a Sole Owner, President, CEO, Managing Member or Majority Partner of the business and are authorized to make changes to or close the account. The form names no other category of signer and does not describe signing on someone else's behalf, so a person outside those roles should ask Licensing & Revenue at 678.377.4100 before submitting.
The form is not an application for a new business license and does not renew one. Businesses that are still operating in Gwinnett are not the audience, since the form asks for the date operations ended or the business left the jurisdiction and for revenue through the last day it operated in Gwinnett.
When to file Business License Account Closure Form – Gwinnett County, GA
Submit the form once the business has stopped operating or has moved from Gwinnett County's jurisdiction, because the form asks for that date (MM-DD-YYYY) and for revenue through the last day of operation. No separate due date or penalty is printed on the form.
The revenue question runs from January 1 to the last day the business operated in Gwinnett, so have the Profit and Loss statement for that period ready before you complete the form. The form states that incomplete or illegible forms will not be processed, which means a form missing any field must be corrected and sent again. For questions about timing or status, the form gives the Licensing & Revenue number, 678.377.4100.
Documents you need
- Profit and Loss statement supporting the final Georgia gross revenue from the Gwinnett location, covering January 1 to the last day the business operated in Gwinnett; the form asks you to provide it with the revenue amount.

- Submitting the revenue amount without the Profit and Loss statement the form asks you to provide to support it.
- Reporting revenue for the wrong period: the form asks for final Georgia gross revenue from the Gwinnett location from January 1 to the last day of operating in Gwinnett.
- Writing the date in another format instead of MM-DD-YYYY for the day the business stopped operating or moved.
- Having someone sign who is not a Sole Owner, President, CEO, Managing Member or Majority Partner authorized to close the account.
- Omitting the account or certificate number, or entering a business name that does not match the one on file with the county.
- Submitting a hard-to-read handwritten form, which the county will not process if it is illegible.
