What is Occupational Tax Update Form: Henry County Account Change?
The Occupational Tax Update Form, printed as the Occupational Tax - Account Information Change Request Form, is the Henry County Tax Commissioner's form for asking the Business & Occupational Tax Division to amend the information on an existing occupational tax account.
The top of the form has an Amending line that lists the items that can change: Contact Name, Business or DBA Name, Mailing Address and Email Address. The form then collects:
- Account Information: account number, parcel ID, business name, DBA, business location, mailing address and contact.
- Contact Information: contact name, two phone numbers, website (if applicable) and an email address, which the form marks as required.
- Account Details: ownership type (Sole Proprietorship, LLC, Corporation (INC) or Partnership) and a description of the business.
At the bottom, the business owner declares under penalty of perjury that the information is true and correct and certifies awareness of an admin fee for amending the application. The form says a new certificate is issued with the corrected information.
The form also marks its own limit. A banner states that all business owner, location and service type changes require an appointment to submit a new Occupational Tax Application, so those changes are not made with this request alone.
Who needs to file Occupational Tax Update Form: Henry County Account Change?
The main users are business owners who already hold an occupational tax account with the Henry County Tax Commissioner and need to correct or change the contact name, the business or DBA name, the mailing address or the email address on that account.
Conditions printed on the form:
- A business name or ownership type change, and a location change, made outside of renewal time carries an admin fee for amending the application.
- Commercial locations need an updated CO (certificate of occupancy) from the fire department if the business name or ownership type changes. Fees may apply.
- The business owner prints their name, dates and signs the declaration, and must provide a copy of the owner's driver license.
Do not rely on this form alone for a change of business owner, location or service type. The form states that those changes require an appointment to submit a new Occupational Tax Application. The form has a signature line for the business owner only and says nothing about signing for someone else.
When to file Occupational Tax Update Form: Henry County Account Change
Use the form when the information on your occupational tax account changes and needs to be corrected, such as a new contact name, business or DBA name, mailing address or email address. The form sets no due date of its own.
Timing matters for the fee. The form says the admin fee for amending an application applies to a business name or ownership type change and to a location change made outside of renewal time. A new certificate is issued with the corrected information.
If the change is to the business owner, the location or the service type, the form says an appointment is required to submit a new Occupational Tax Application, so schedule that appointment through HENRYCOUNTYTAX.COM.
Documents you need
- A copy of the business owner's driver license; the form states that it must be provided with the amended application.
- An updated CO from the fire department, only for commercial locations when the business name or ownership type changes. The form notes that fees may apply.

Bring a copy of the owner's driver license, which the form requires. If you change a commercial location's business name or ownership type, also bring the updated CO from the fire department. The form says an admin fee applies to certain amendments but gives no amount or payment method, so ask the office for the current fee at the number above. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving the Email Address line blank; the form marks it as required.
- Submitting the form without a copy of the owner's driver license, which the form says must be provided.
- Using this update for a change of business owner, location or service type instead of scheduling the appointment for a new Occupational Tax Application that the form requires.
- Changing the business name or ownership type at a commercial location without the updated CO from the fire department.
- Overlooking the admin fee that applies to a business name, ownership type or location change made outside of renewal time.
- Sending the form unsigned, or signed by someone other than the business owner; the signature line is for the business owner.
- Choosing an ownership type that does not match the business: Sole Proprietorship, LLC, Corporation (INC) or Partnership.
