Two licenses under one town code

The Town's Business License Information page says Article 8-2-2 of the town code requires all persons who conduct or carry on any business within the town's boundaries to obtain a license first.

General Business License The Town issues it for a business in a retail space inside the town, or for a business located outside the town that does business inside it [oro-valley B8.10].

Home Occupation License Residents who run a business from an Oro Valley home get a separate Home Occupation License [oro-valley B8.10].

Fee and processing time Each license costs $80.00 per year, prorated monthly and based on a calendar year, and the Town says to allow 3 to 5 business days for processing [oro-valley B8.11]. Check the Town's Business License Information page before you apply [oro-valley B8.11].

Zoning and permits come before the application

The Town's Steps to Open a Business page tells a retail or service business to check zoning, confirm its use is permitted, and decide whether it needs a building permit or an investigative inspection for a Certificate of Occupancy. After that, the business applies for an Oro Valley General Business License.
