Colab Management partners with municipalities to identify, verify, and bring into compliance the businesses operating within their limits — accurately, transparently, and with respect for the taxpayer.
City of St. George, Louisiana
If you received a notice about your occupational license status from the City of St. George, it is a genuine communication from the City. To carry out this program, the City has engaged Colab Management, LLC — working with the Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS) — to administer the outreach on its behalf.
Use the secure response page to confirm your status or begin registering. If you scanned the QR code or opened the link on your letter, your response will already be matched to your notice.
Respond / check your status → Common questionsColab Management, LLC is a municipal revenue and compliance consultancy. We help newly incorporated and growing local governments answer a deceptively hard question: who is actually operating a business inside our limits, and are they licensed? Our work pairs authoritative public data sources with geographic analysis and careful, taxpayer-friendly outreach — turning fragmented records into an enforcement-ready, defensible compliance program.
We build a master business universe from independent data sources and cross-reference it against the City's license registry to find genuine gaps.
Every record is resolved to a parcel inside the municipal boundary, so findings are spatially accurate and audit-ready.
We design and administer clear, respectful notice campaigns — print, mail, QR response, and tracking — that help businesses come into compliance.
We give finance teams the prioritized, defensible foundation they need for follow-up, audit, and enforcement.
Project results
St. George incorporated in 2024 and needed to know which businesses operating in the new city weren't yet licensed. Colab built a picture of the city's business community, compared it against the license roster, and ran a notice campaign to bring businesses into compliance.
At closeout, the City received the full gap list, contact history and open-items register so it can carry the program forward.
*Estimated at statutory minimum license rates, including one-time back tax. Actual collections depend on business compliance and gross receipts.
Public records suggest a business at your address may be operating within St. George without a current City occupational license. The notice invites you to confirm your status.
It is a license the City requires to operate a business within St. George. For general occupational-license questions, you may also contact the City of St. George Finance Department.
Please let us know using the response page so the City can update its records. In most cases no further action is needed.
Any information you provide is used only for this compliance program and is handled confidentially.
