Oklahoma Town to Start Requiring Business Licenses for First Time Ever

City of Ardmore staff to propose business license ordinance as a method to track businesses and ensure safety through regulation.

The licensing would require a minimal fee…not be a penalty but something fair. The entire purpose of the proposed ordinance would be to help the citizens of Ardmore.
“There is no business license in the city at all, and that’s difficult,” Scott said. “There’s no inspection to even ensure that the building is safe — there’s nothing. So we’re going to change that.“
Scott also added that the ordinance can help act as protection to prevent scammers…

ID City Council Looks For A Way To ID New Businesses

Pocatello, ID City Council considers implementing a general business license as a way to track businesses.

…Pocatello Fire Department Chief David Gates estimate that about 3,000 to 3,500 businesses operate within city limits. “But that’s the hard part — without requiring a (city) business license, we really don’t know for sure,” Gates said. Currently, businesses such as daycare facilities, alcohol sellers and taxi operators need a city license, but there is no requirement or procedure for general business licenses.

The city may be requiring businesses to have a license, but that doesn’t mean they’re helping the business owners obtain a business license. That’s where helpful tools like LicenseSuite and filing assistance come in. Take advantage.
