Business Approvals

• The County does not issue business licenses. Authorization to operate a business within the County is granted through the submission of an approved Business Development Permit Application. 

Home Occupation

• The Land Use Bylaw defines two types of Home Occupations: Minor and Major. Please visit the Business Development page to determine in your business qualifies as a minor or major home occupation.

Note: Check your property zoning to ensure your business is an approved use. If it's not, you may need to apply to rezone your property.
