Business Licenses are available at the Town Office. If it is inconvenient for you to come to the office to purchase or renew your license, simply mail in your payment to the The Town of Eckville, P.O. Box 578, Eckville, AB, T0M 0X0 and we will be glad to mail your new license to you.
New Business: If you are setting up a new business, renewal, or transfer, you must complete a Business License Application and submit a signed copy to the Town Office.
Home Business Licenses: If you are setting up a business operating from your home, notify the Town Office. The type of business you will be operating may have an effect on your neighbourhood in terms of traffic volume, noise volume, on street parking, and land use. That is why you require approval from the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) to operate your business. Click here for more information on Home Business
