Inter-Community Business Licence Coming Soon

November 3, 2016

If your business operates in more than one jurisdiction in the Elk Valley, the new Inter-Community Business Licence could save you time and money.  Typical mobile businesses include trades, plumbers, electricians, cleaning services, pest control, or similar.

Council will consider the Inter-Community Business Licence Bylaw and amendments to Business Licencing and Regulation Bylaw No. 2028 at November 14th at the Regular meeting.  If adopted eligible businesses can purchase a Municipal Business Licence for 2017 in their principal community – the community where they have a storefront or business address.  The additional ICBL permits mobile businesses to purchase one Inter-Community Business Licence to operate in Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford.  Businesses with premises in multiple jurisdictions still require a Municipal Business Licence for each storefront. Contact your local government office in Fernie, Sparwood or Elkford for more information.
