Business Licenses

A Business License is a very good investment.
Having a license shows your customers that you are a legitimate business that complies with local laws and regulations.

It is also the law.  Anyone providing goods or services in Drayton Valley is required to have a license under the Business License Bylaw 2008/18/D

Businesses are sorted into different categories based on location, fees and regulations which apply to each category.

Check the Town of Drayton Valley’s Business Directory for registered businesses.

Below are links for a business, home occupation or peddlers license applications,

Business Licence Cancellation Form

A Business License is required to operate a business, home occupation or for door to door salespersons within the Town of Drayton Valley.
Standard Business License (for those who wish to open in a commercial building, mobile business, or out of town business)
Home Occupation License (for those who wish to operate out of their home)
Peddlers License (those who go door to door, or those who do not operate within the Farmer’s Market).

Starting A Business

Should you wish to open a business within the Town, you will be required to submit the appropriate application prior to opening. Processing time is approximately 2-3 weeks, so please allow yourself this time frame before you open. Depending on the nature of your proposed business, it may be considered a discretionary use.  Discretionary uses require Council approval so processing times may take longer than the normal 2-3 weeks.

Landowner consent is required. This portion of the application is to be completed by the person(s) whose name is shown on the Title. In order to be processed landowner consent must be provided. If the landlord is unavailable to sign the application, an email or the signed portion of the lease agreement will be acceptable.
