1) Why do I need a City of Wasilla Business License?
For the privilege of engaging in any business in the city, a person shall
first apply to do so, and pay the $25 fee. A license issued to a firm for a
particular line of business covers all its operations in the city in that line
of business regardless of the number of establishments. Nonprofit organizations
are required to obtain a city business license at no cost.
2) Do I need any other licenses to do business in Wasilla city
limits?
Yes. The State of Alaska and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough require that all
businesses be in compliance with their statutes. The Finance Department has the
State and Borough license applications on hand but we do not process them in our
office. They are processed at their respective addresses listed on the
applications.
3) How long is the City of Wasilla business license good for?
The license is valid through December 31st of each calendar year.
4) Do I have to display the city license?
The city license shall be displayed prominently at the place of business; any
seller who has no regular place of business shall display such license upon
request.
5) If I sell my business can I transfer the license to the new
owner?
No. Licenses are non-transferable. Along that same line, if you close a
business you are required to surrender your license to the city and report the
closure.
6) If it is close to the end of the calendar year will I have to obtain a
new license the following year?
Newly established businesses applying for a city business license after
December 1st, each year, will be issued a license valid through the following
calendar year.
