Business Licenses

Who Needs a Business License?

Any business that generates revenue within the City of Piperton needs a business license, including cable companies. Any Piperton business that does not have a commercial storefront, office or commercial or industrial location is considered to be a home-based business and will require a business license, even if the sales or services are performed outside the residence. Post office boxes, whether U.S. or private, can only be used as mailing addresses and cannot be registered as commercial locations. Also, rented storage facilities may not be used as your business location.
