Business licensing serves a real purpose in our community. Before the City issues a business license, the business must show that they are registered and validly operating, including complying with any county, state, or federal regulations, as well as receive approval from the Vineyard zoning, fire, and building departments. Business licensing enables the city to:
- Ensure public safety by enforcing building and fire codes
- Verify that businesses are in compliance with the Vineyard Zoning Code and other laws and ordinances
- Collect its portion of sales tax revenue from the Utah State Tax Commission
- Maintain a list of currently licensed businesses for public access
