If you are considering operating a home based business, then you will be required to apply for a development permit to allow the business to take place at your home address. Home based businesses are advertised to the neighbours and posted on the Town of Penhold website. Once a development permit is approved a business license can be issued. A development permit is a one time permit unless you move to another address. Your business license will need to be renewed EVERY year.
Any person found in contravention of this bylaw shall be liable to a penalty of $300 for the first offense and $500 for the second and subsequent offences.
If you have any questions about the business license bylaw, please contact the Development Officer at (403) 886-4567.
