Business Licenses

Anyone who is conducting business within the town limits needs to obtain a business license from the Town Business Office.  The first step is to fill out the Business License Application and return it to the Town Business Office. 

A business license is good for one calendar year (January 1 - December 31).

Existing businesses will receive a renewal form in the mail by January 15 of each year.  Business license renewals and taxes are due by March 1 of each year.  The tax may be a flat tax or based upon a percentage of gross receipts.  Tax rates vary among business categories, and depending on the business type, additional requirements may also need to be met before a business can begin.

For first applicants, a fee is paid on the initial application based on estimated gross receipts. When renewing the license the following year, a fee is paid based on the prior year's actual gross receipts.  If there is a difference between the estimated gross receipts and the actual gross receipts, an adjustment will be made.  All subsequent renewals will be based on the prior year's gross receipts.
