The NC General Assembly no longer gives authority for local governments to levy a privilege license tax on businesses, so businesses operating within Knightdale are no longer required to renew or obtain a privilege license. The new law took effect July 1st, 2015 after lawmakers passed S.L. 2014-3/House Bill 1050.

The NC Department of Commerce has details on state licenses, permits and regulatory requirements (North Carolina has no single business license covering all requirements).
