Business Licence Application

Completing this application is only the first step in acquiring a business licence.

  • A business cannot be opened or operated until the City of Abbotsford reviews the application and issues a business licence.
  • SOCAN - If you use live or recorded music in your business, please visit socan.ca for licensing information as it is Federal Copyright Law.
  • For trades contractors or other professionals (related to the construction industry) that would like the Intermunicipal Business Licence for an additional $250 fee, please apply in person at the Building Permits & Licences Division at City Hall at least one business day after completing the online application. For more information please visit our Intermunicipal Business Licence Page.
