BUSINESS LICENSE RENEWALS

​

All Town Business Licenses expire on April 30th each year; the deadline to renew without penalties is April 30th.

 

Annual license fees are based on the gross receipts/gross revenue for the business (or projected gross for new businesses).

 

Please print a copy of application form, fill in the application and return to the town hall. Please make sure all appropriate documentation is included with your application so that the processing will not be delayed.

 

Please do not mail cash payment. You may also pay by company check or cashier’s check.

The town makes every effort to remind you of your Business License Renewal, sometimes this may not happen.  It is your responsibility to renew whether you receive renewal notice or not.  Please mark your calendar for this yearly renewal to avoid penalties.
