Murray Simplifies Business License Rates

January 19, 2012

In an effort to create a more business friendly environment, city officials voted last week to reduce the number of Murray, KY business license categories from 224 to 22. Business owners can now look for a more simplified business license fee structure that will be based on much fewer categories.

Murray Ledger and Times details the particulars of the old fee structure and how it complicated the business license application process.

“City Administrator Matt Mattingly said the current structure was adopted in 1970 and had 39 different fee rates in addition to 224 business classifications. He said 1,675 business licenses were purchased in the 2011 fiscal year and that 21 percent of businesses purchased more than one license.”

The city’s finance department is credited with simplifying the business license structure.
