In accordance with The Municipal Act, a municipality may either charge a business tax or license to any business facilities within the municipality.
By-Law #787/96 governs and regulates business activities and its requirements for the issuance of business licenses within the Town of Snow Lake. Section 3(a) of this by-law states: No person shall carry on any of the businesses as a Salesman, Tradesman, or Transient Trader without having a license from the Town to do so, nor shall any business for which a license has been issued be carried on after such license has lapsed or been cancelled, unless and until a new license is issued therefor.
A business license carries an annual fee and is active for twelve consecutive months from the date of application. A local business license costs $100.00/year; a transient business license costs $150.00/year.
If you are an active business with no license, please contact the Town of Snow Lake to fill out an application and obtain your license; or, you can obtain the form from our website by clicking here.
