Registration details
  • license: The Town's own page states: "A municipal business license is required to conduct business within the Town of Brookside." Town of Brookside Ordinance No. 01-2011, Section 1 ("Business License Required"), provides: "It is unlawful for any business owner to conduct any business or enterprise for profit within the Town without first having obtained a business license as provided in this Ordinance," defining "business owner" broadly as "an individual, corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture, or any other commercial entit[y] conducting any lawful activity for profit" (excluding only home-based businesses from the definition, not from the requirement). The license is issued by the Town Clerk for a $25 annual fee, requires a premises inspection by the Mayor prior to issuance per Section 5, and must be renewed by December 1 each year; renewal is denied if the business owner lacks "a valid state sales tax license[] or any other license necessary for business owner to conduct business." The Ordinance does not name contractors or roofers specifically, and the Town's own application form asks whether the business is "Home-based" or on "Commercial Property," suggesting the license was drafted with a local business premises in mind; it is set true here on the ordinance's plain, unqualified "any business or enterprise for profit within the Town" language, which does not exempt contractors performing paid work in Town.
