Business License - Commercial Property Owners

This license is required in addition to any other license associated with the business activity(ies) conducted at these properties.

An owner occupied commercial property business license is required, and will be issued at no charge if all of the following conditions exist:

• no lease / rent payments or any other compensation is exchanged
• the owner of record and the owner of the business occupying the property file taxes using the same social security or federal identification number
