Getting a Business License

Permits and licenses may be required to conduct business in the City of 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 for a business license

Businesses register with the Department of Revenue and difference cities can be selected for endorsement through the Department of Revenue. You will receive a master license from the state, showing both your city and state business licenses. Business licenses must be renewed annually.

Applying for a business license and city endorsement occurs through the Department of Revenue.
