Notice: upcoming changes to the Business Licence Bylaw |
Business licence renewal notices will be mailed in November 2026. Renewal fees will be based on the 2027 Business Licence Bylaw because licences will be renewed for the 2027 calendar year. If you start a new business before January 1, 2027, the 2026 Business Licence Bylaw still applies. For more information, please refer to the new Business Licence Bylaw [PDF/1.1MB]. |
