NEW THIS YEAR! Business Licenses will be renewed through the Open Gov Permitting & Licensing platform. Visit our Business License page for information on the new process including the link to the new application.
Pay Renewal Fees
Due to the new business license application process, renewal invoices were not mailed to existing business license holders.
