The exemption is the State's (see the Georgia entry on the disabled veteran occupation tax exemption). The county's business licensing page: "Occupation Tax Exemption - The following individuals/organizations may be eligible for an exemption from having to pay an occupation tax. Disabled Veterans – War-time veterans with at least a 10% disability rating or peace-time veterans with a 25% disability rating, if claiming an exemption, will need to provide a copy of your Certificate of State License/Tax Exemption. For more information visit Business Certificate of Exemption | Georgia Department of Veterans Service." How. Get the certificate from the Department of Veterans Service (a field office or its online request), then register the business with Bryan County Community Development as usual, attaching it. The exemption reaches the occupation tax, not the registration itself, and a business inside Pembroke or Richmond Hill licenses with the city.
