Register a Business Name in Monroe County, GA
Here's what to expect at the Superior Court Clerk — fees, what to bring, and where to go.
In Georgia, DBA (trade name) registrations are filed with the Superior Court Clerk — this office (O.C.G.A. § 15-6-77). The total varies by county — a filing fee plus per-page recording and a required newspaper publication — so there is no fixed statewide amount. Contact your Superior Court Clerk to confirm the current fee before you go.
The county forms we read are affidavits sworn before a notary: Fulton County's application reads "This affidavit is made in compliance with O.C.G.A. § 10-1-490. Sworn to and subscribed before me." above a notary's signature line, and Hall County's is sworn the same way. We could not read § 10-1-490 itself on an official site, so ask this office for its own form.
