Doing Business in Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock has traditionally been the commercial center of the lower Northern Neck and starting a business in Kilmarnock requires only a few steps. Building permits and land disturbing permits are issued at the county level. A Kilmarnock zoning permit must be issued prior to receiving a building permit.
Business Licenses are required within the Kilmarnock town limits. Kilmarnock has a Business, Professional and Occupational License Tax which is due between January 1 and March 1 of each year. The tax is based on the gross receipts for the preceding year from any business, profession or trade and includes fees, commissions, brokerage charges, discounts, sales and services. A penalty of 10 % will become due after March 1 for failure to pay the license tax. Beginning July 1 of each year, 8% interest will be added monthly for delinquent license taxes.
