Leakesville Business Owners: Privilege License Renewals Have Moved Online!

 

The September 30 traditional deadline to renew your annual Privilege License is approaching fast, and the City of Leakesville has officially transitioned all licensing to Cloudpermit! This means your renewal process is now quicker, fully digital, and completely paperless.

 

Who Needs a Privilege License?

  • For-Profit Operations: A mandatory privilege tax applies to any enterprise doing business for profit within our municipal limits.

  • Established Businesses: To qualify for a standard local privilege license, your operation must be established to do business on a permanent basis (six months or longer).

  • Transient Vendors: If you operate a food truck, traveling pop-up, or any mobile business at a specific location for less than six months out of the year, you are required to hold a transient vendor license instead.

  • Business Categories: The licensing mandate covers the full spectrum of commerce, including general businesses, manufacturing facilities, retail stores, and specialized operations like pawnbrokers, coin-operated laundries, or deadly weapons dealers.

  • Exemptions: Because the statute specifically targets for-profit entities, non-profit organizations are strictly exempt from this requirement. Certain low-income, disabled, or senior individuals may also qualify for exemptions by filing the proper certificate.

 

Cloudpermit Transition Details

  • Online Portal: The City is now handling all applications and renewals exclusively through US.Cloudpermit.com.

  • Account Setup: You will need to register an account on the Cloudpermit website using your business email to manage your renewals.

  • Address Verification: If your standard physical address is not populating correctly in the Cloudpermit system, use your Parcel Property Identification Number (PPIN) to locate your property. Transient vendors should input the specific location where they will be operating.

 

Important Deadlines & Penalties

  • New 12-Month Cycle: While standard municipal privilege licenses have traditionally expired on September 30, the new system gives you a full 12 months from your issue date to remain compliant (6 months for Transient Vendors).

  • Late Fees: Missing your deadline triggers an automatic delinquent penalty of 10% for the first month, plus an additional 1% for every month you remain late.

  • Posting Requirements: Once your new license is issued, you must post it in a conspicuous place at your permanent business location or keep it in your possession for mobile setups.

 

Log into US.Cloudpermit.com today to finalize your renewal, avoid unnecessary penalties, and keep your Leakesville business running smoothly into the next fiscal year!
