Business Licenses and Permits

Some businesses require a City of Farmington license. The city does not issue general business licenses. The license and permit applications listed below are issued by the Community Development Department and the Administration Department. Because many licenses require a background investigations and/or Farmington City Council approval, the city recommends that you submit your application and payment 30 - 45 days prior to the beginning of your activity. Please mail or return form to City Hall.
