Getting a Business License

Permits and licenses may be required to conduct business in Marysville. All businesses must register for city and state business and occupation taxes. Construction, tenant improvements and certain land use activities require building and land-use permits from Community Development Services.

How to Apply

Businesses register with the city and state at the same time. You will receive a master license from the state, showing both your city and state business licenses. Marysville business licenses are renewed annually.

If your business is located within the home, or your business is registered to your home address, you may be required to obtain a Home Occupation Business License  by submitting a Home Occupation Application.
