Business Licenses
Every business is different. The City Clerk Treasurer’s Office will decide which applications need to be reviewed by various City departments and route your application accordingly:
- Clerk/Treasurer Office
- Zoning Administration – Planning Department
- Finance Department
- Inspection Department
- Fire Department
If your business is a restaurant, you will need a certificate from the Madison County Health Department to complete your application. Ideally, you should obtain your Health Department certificate before you begin your business license process with the City of Huntsville.
