Business License

The Business Owner must come in to fill out some paperwork in the Finance Department for the Zoning Department. Once that paperwork is turned in, the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy Page (the 2nd page found in the packet for a New Business License application) and an additional page obtainable at the counter, the Zoning Department will call them between 2 to 3 weeks. Once a phone call is received stating that the location is approved for that type of business, the Business Owner must complete the rest of the business license packet and complete the form for Trash verification, also attached to the packet, and return the complete packet and pay the fees. Fees vary depending on the type of business.
