Obtain Your Business Licence

In 2006, Regina City Council approved Licensing Bylaw 2006-86   , which repeals the previous bylaw concerning home-based businesses (Bylaw No 9565).

All businesses require a licence from the City of Regina unless:

• The business is considered a non-profit corporation under provincial jurisdiction.
• The business operates from a premise which pays commercial or industrial property taxes, with the exception of second-hand dealers, pawn brokers, and coin dealers.

Once you receive your business licence, you must post it so the licence can be seen by the public. You cannot alter, deface, or reproduce your licence. Your licence is not transferable. You must notify Licensing and Municipal Fines if you:

• Change the nature of your business
• Move your business to a different location
• Sell your business to someone else
• Close your business

The City can revoke your business licence if you contravene any section of Licensing Bylaw 2006-86   . The licence can be revoked without a hearing; however, you have the opportunity to appeal this decision to the Regina Appeal Board.
