The Planning Division now handles county business-license renewal and payments. Use the current Community Development forms and contact details, rather than the old Finance form address.

Use the current application linked by Community Development. Check activity-specific approvals before submitting.
Before you start
- Information & documents
- The current application lists a veteran fee exemption with proof of honorable discharge; it does not waive the application. [10]
The linked renewal form is for continuing business in the 2026/2027 fiscal year; its June 30, 2026 expiry refers to the preceding license.
Before you start

- Return the completed renewal by the specified email or by mail to Community Development. [7]
- Deadlines
- This renewal is for 2026/2027; the June 30, 2026 date identifies the expiring license and is not a fee effective date. [8]

The renewal form includes a no-longer-conducting-business option. Ask Planning about any other closure requirements.
