Many types of businesses operating within the Town require licensing by virtue of the Town Ordinance and/or State Statute. The Town Clerk’s office is responsible for receiving, processing, and issuing applications, licenses, and license renewals. All license fees are intended to cover the administrative costs associated with processing the application, and are non-refundable.
