Licenses, Permits, and Regulations

 

Idaho does not require licenses for every type of business. To find out if your specific business activity requires a license or is regulated in some way, visit the Business Wizard by clicking on the link to the left. It will give you a customized checklist of agencies you need to contact.

If you want to print a list of all of the types of businesses, professions, products and services that are currently listed in the Business Wizard, click on the printer graphic to the right.click here to print a list of businesses that are regulated in Idaho

City and County Licenses: In addition to the licensing requirements listed in the Business Wizard, your business may be regulated by city and/or county laws specific to the area where you are doing business.  Contact your local City or County Clerk or Recorder's office to find out if you need a local business license or permits. To find contact information for your city clerk's office check your local phone book or click here: City Clerks. To locate your county clerk or recorder's office visit http://www.idahovotes.gov/Clerk.htm or Access Idaho at http://www.accessidaho.org/aboutidaho/county/index.html and click on the appropriate county.

Taxes: Most businesses must pay taxes, including city, county, state, and federal taxes. Visit the taxes section of this site to learn more about the taxes your business may need to pay. You will also find a tax calendar listing the dates that payments are due.

We do our best to keep this site current when the federal government, Idaho legislature, city councils, and county commissioners change licensing requirements. However, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT THE LICENSING REQUIREMENTS SHOWN ON THIS SITE ARE COMPLETE.

If your business, profession, product, or service is not included in the Business Wizard, you can verify whether your business is subject to licensing requirements by contacting your city or county clerk's office, your attorney, or your CPA. You may also ask us to research your licensing requirements by clicking on the E-mail Us button at the top of the page.

If you know of a licensing requirement that is not listed on this site or one that is listed but needs to be updated, please e-mail us.  That will help us keep the information on the site current.
