Business Licensing

The City of Cedar Hills welcomes and encourages businesses within its community. Much of our local business is made up of small, locally-owned home occupation businesses. The City’s current business license ordinance indicates the requirements and any restrictions in operating a home occupation business, as well as other types of businesses.

Prior to applying for a Cedar Hills business license, an individual should contact the State of Utah to ensure that all State-mandated requirements have been met. Go to the State of Utah Web site, where you will find all of the information that you need. You may also contact the State by phone at 1-877-526-3994.

Business owners may request to have their business information printed in the City’s newsletter or on this Web site. Business license information is generally considered public record except for private information such as birth dates or social security numbers.

Completed business license applications, including appropriate fees, should be returned to the City office for processing. Depending on the type of business, an inspection by the City’s building official may be necessary. Home occupation business licenses are valid until the anniversary date, at which time a renewal application will be automatically mailed to the business owner.

Questions about the business licensing process should be directed to the Building/Zoning Department (801) 785-9668, ext. 108, or e-mail Building/Zoning.

FAQ: “Do I need a Cedar Hills business license?”
If your business lists your home in Cedar Hills as its physical location, you must obtain a Cedar Hills business license. Even if business is not specifically conducted within Cedar Hills, but your home address is used for registration with the State, you are required to have a municipal license with the City of Cedar Hills.
