Business
We are here to help you have a successful startup.
Before you commit to a business space, apply with the City to avoid extra costs and complications.
When you apply, we will check that your choice of location meets zoning requirements, that your space is safe for you and your customers, and ensure that you are legally licensed to do business in the city.

Look up a business
Search for a local business or contractor to find out if there is a valid license to operate in the city.
How to look up a business
Enter the name of a business or contractor as accurately as possible. Resulting listings only indicate that there is a valid license currently in effect, or license approval is pending. The business/contractor search tool is offered as a public service, not as a resource for promotion or consumer advocacy. For questions or feedback, contact Business Licensing.
What is a contractor?
Professional contractors/handypersons require a contractor's license in order to be eligible to apply for building permits or trades permits.
