Part of getting a FFL is this….
the applicant has sent or delivered a form to the chief law enforcement officer where the premises are located notifying the officer that the applicant intends to apply for a license.
— In my case this would be the County Sheriff. Should I just send a copy of the completed ATF application by certified mail; "attention: (my sheriff’s name here)"
I would think that would cover the bases….. but what proof would I have that it was done, if there are problems later?

As long as you have federal approval for the FFL and local approval for a business license then you are all right.
The local business license signifies that the locality is informed and thus the chief law enforcement would be as well.
Federal law overrules state law.
You need to call up the Sheriff’s office and find out where the send the required paperwork. They may have a specific form you need to use. Get it faxed over if they do. Also, when you send the docs in, either hand deliver them or send them registered mail…preferably with a tracking number and signature confirmation. Law enforcement types don’t like guns in the hands of the people (2nd Ammendment rights are a oxymoron to them) and it’s best to be able to have a paper trail in place to help them do their job in case things start getting "lost".
