Star Valley to Continue Charging Business License Fees
February 7, 2012
Council members, last week, voted their disapproval to an initiative suggested by Councilor George Binney to do away with the Star Valley, AZ business license fees. Star Valley currently charges an annual $50 to obtain a town business license.
Binney suggested doing away with the fee as a way of making the town more business friendly and helping boost the start-up of new businesses. “I think if we are going to prove that we are business-friendly, that we don’t do away with the business license, we do away with the cost.”
The Payson Roundup reports that other council members disagreed with Binney as they feel that the business license application process is a way of protecting local businesses from fly-by-nights. As Councilor Vern Leis said, “I think that by doing this it actually tells businesses that have been here that we are being unfriendly to them by not supporting them and opening the doors to every Tom, Dick and Harry that wants to come in and do business with no control or identification over them.”
Instead council members suggested other ways of assisting local businesses, such as the launching of an economic development plan that would help fledging businesses with the start-up procedure.
Business license changes occur in different localities each day. Large businesses can save the time and effort it would take to uncover changes in each branch location by outsourcing business license management to licensing experts. Business Licenses’ Outsourced Business License Management Service allows big businesses to outsource business license filing, maintenance and renewal for all their required business licenses & permits with every licensing authority in the U.S.
