New Business Information
Business License (or Privilege License): There was a change in State Law so business licenses are no longer required by the City. However, beginning in January 2017, the City will require a fire inspection of the business. There is a fee associated with the inspection and it is based on the square footage of the building.
A letter was sent to businesses from the Fire Chief that contains the fee amounts.
