Bill > HB566

This bill, effective October 1, 2026, allows municipalities in Alabama to require a business license for certain building trade businesses that perform work within their limits but do not have a physical business location there, defining terms like "certified heating and air conditioning contractor," "concrete provider," and "general contractor" by referencing existing state law definitions and clarifying that a "physical business location" does not include temporary job sites. The bill specifies that the license fee can be a flat rate or based on gross receipts from work done within the municipality, and importantly, it mandates that municipalities must allow businesses to exclude gross receipts already used to calculate a business license fee paid in another municipality where they have a physical business location, though they can request verification of these receipts. Furthermore, this legislation prohibits municipalities from requiring these businesses to obtain a municipal license to work on projects for county governments located on county property or maintained infrastructure.
