The successful contractor, prior to execution of the contract, must possess or obtain a Town of Fort Mill

Business License. Such license must be maintained throughout the duration of the contract. The fee for

such license is based on the amount of the contract with the Town if the contractor is not currently

doing other business inside the town limits. If the contractor is currently doing other business within the

town limits of Fort Mill, and does not possess a business license, then the fee for the license is based on

the total gross receipts from customers within the city limits. Any subcontractors and sub-

subcontractors must also possess or obtain a Town of Fort Mill Business License. The successful

contractor, prior to execution of the contract, must also obtain any required permitting as deemed

necessary by the town’s building code official. After the award of the bid the selected bidder would

submit plans for the signage – they will be reviewed by Town staff to see if they meet the Town building

and zoning codes and then the contractor would be able to pay for the permits and then begin work.
