Business Licensing
A valid Provo City business license is required for all businesses that are located within the corporate limits of Provo City. A business license is the means whereby Provo City Corporation grants permission to engage in a business activity at a specific location within the City. The definition of business includes every craft, trade, occupation, profession or activity engaged in for the purpose of gain or economic profit, excluding, however, the acts of employees rendering service to employers unless otherwise specifically provided.
A local license provides assurance that the business location is properly zoned for the activity being conducted. Licensing also verifies compliance with state and local codes. This helps ensure the well being of employees and citizens.
If your business will be located in a commercial zone, it is advisable that you contact the Community Development Department at 801-852-6400 for specific zoning requirements and restrictions prior to signing a lease or filing a license application.
For fees, contact the Licensing Division at 801-852-6523.
