Cranbrook, BC (December 13, 2023) – Renewal notices for 2024 business licenses are expected to arrive in mailboxes around the City before Christmas.

Business license fees are $125 for the year if they are paid before the end of February 2024. Fees increase to $150 if paid after March 1, 2024.

You are encouraged to pay for your business license through our ePay online payment portal @ https://secure.amaistech.com/ePAY-ePRINT/First?client=cranbrook. Please note payments through the portal are credit card only with a 2.4% convenience fee added to your purchase. If you have never used this service before, you can quickly and easily create an account, pay for and print your business license.

A business license is required for any operation of business within the boundaries of the City of Cranbrook. You can download a business license application from the City website @ www.cranbrook.ca/our-city/city-departments/licensing-permits/. 

Businesses who have inter-community business licenses with the City of Kimberley will be getting a separate renewal notice in the mail.  The fee for the inter-community business license is $75. Businesses must have an annual business license for the municipality they operate out of before they are able to apply for an inter-community business license.

Please ensure any business name, mailing address or business location changes are reported to the City, including if the business is closed and no longer operating.
