 License Required: 
 All businesses operating in the City of Federal Heights who maintain a permanent physical address are required to 
 obtain a City business license.  Sales tax licenses are required if the business sells tangible personal property. If a sales 
 tax license is required, it will automatically be mailed to your business address along with sales tax returns. No 
 additional applications are required.

 Each location of a business requires a separate business license. New businesses must be inspected first by the Building 
 Department and then by Fire Department before a business license can be issued.  Please contact them individually to 
 schedule all inspections and reviews. Generally the Building Department needs to inspect the location as early as 
 possible to assist you with building code compliance. Inspections with the Fire Department should happen after your 
 business is stocked and nearly ready to open. Appointments for inspections must be made twenty-four (24) hours in 
 advance of the requested time. 
 
 Renewing Business Licenses: 
 Licenses expire on December 31 each calendar year. You will automatically be mailed a license renewal application. 
 Renewals of business licenses will automatically occur on January 1st assuming no information has changed from the 
 previous year’s application and the City has received the renewal application and payment prior to that date. 
 Otherwise, they will occur once any changed information has been verified and payment has been received. Paper 
 copies of the official license will be mailed to the applicant at that time. Yearly business license inspections for existing 
 businesses in the City will occur on a regularly scheduled basis between the months of January and November.  Failure 
 to pass that inspection could result in the revocation of the business license.
