Business Licence Information
Step 1
Complete the Application Form:
Complete the business licence application form and submit it to the District office. You can download a business licence application form by clicking here . Please direct any questions you may have about the application process to the Finance Clerk, Janet Johnston at jjohnston@hope.ca or (604) 869 5671 ext 309.
Step 2
Review by the District of Hope:
Once an application is submitted it is reviewed by 4 departments: Planning, Bylaw, Fire, and Corporate Services. If there are any concerns with your business endeavor the District will contact you for further information and clarification. Upon approval the Finance Clerk will process the application.
Step 3
Notification:
It is the District of Hope’s goal to process our business licence applications within 10-14 working days from the date of submission.
Inter-Municipal Business Licences
The District of Hope continues to collaborate with Abbotsford, Chilliwack, City of Langley, Township of Langley, Maple Ridge, Mission, Pitt Meadows, City of Delta, City of Merritt, District of Kent, Village of Harrison Hot Springs and Surrey in offering an Inter-Municipal Business License (IMBL). The IMBL reduces red tape by allowing mobile businesses to operate in more than one municipality by purchasing one license, rather than by obtaining non-resident permits in each municipality in which they operate.
