Business Licences and Permits

We issue a variety of municipal licences to ensure public health and safety, consumer protection, and quality service.
You need a business licence if you have a personal services business, a food truck (commercial refreshment vehicle), a salvage yard, a kennel, or require a transient trader licence.
