City of Myrtle Beach standardizing business license year

The City of Myrtle Beach is standardizing its business license year with other communities across the state. City Council approved the change in January, and it takes effect in April. The new due date for business license renewal payments is April 30, with late payments becoming delinquent on June 1, 2020.

The delinquency date is being delayed one year so that businesses have time to adjust to the new due date. In the following year (2021), payments will be considered delinquent on May 1. This puts Myrtle Beach on the same business license year as other cities.

Myrtle Beach already accepts the uniform business license application form. A shared portal is being developed which will allow all license holders to renew licenses with one application for all participating jurisdictions where the business is licensed.
