Business Licensing
Requirements
- Murray City requires that a valid business license be held by anyone conducting business within Murray City.
- "Business" means and includes every craft, trade, occupation, profession, or activity pursued for gain or profit, excluding services rendered by and employee to an employer.
- Non-profit, charitable, governmental, and insurance agencies are also required to obtain a business license, although they may be exempt from license fees.
- Processing time is 7-10 business days. Murray City does not offer interim licensing.
- You must have your business license issued prior to opening / operating.
- Each business location will need a separate license.
- Licenses are not transferable from address to address, nor from owner to owner.
- Minor changes, such as mailing address, may be submitted without an application.
- Murray City requires that written notice be submitted if a business has moved out of the City or is no longer conducting business. Please note that license fees are not refundable.
Temporary and Seasonal Businesses
Temporary and seasonal businesses and special events are required to obtain licenses and permits
prior to opening / operating. Permits for special events need to be filed with the City 3 weeks prior to the event date for processing. All other licenses, including temporary licenses, need to allow 10 business days for processing.
Re-Application Notices
Re-application notices are mailed out on the first of the month in which the license expires. In order to avoid penalty fees, re-application forms and payment must be received in our office during normal business hours prior to the expiration date.
We do no accept post marks as timely receipts and cannot be responsible for lost or misdirected mail. Responsibility of renewal is total responsibility of the Licensee. Failure to receive notices does not excuse this responsibility.
