General Business Licenses

The city does not issue general business licenses, but does license certain business activities such as alcoholic beverage sales, coin-operated amusement devices, pawn brokers, precious metal dealers, vending carts, etc. Contact City Hall for information on licensing a specific activity.

The State of Minnesota, not the City, is responsible for new business licenses and registrations. The State Secretary of State Office files and records original and amendment documents for all business, nonprofit, foreign, banking, insurance, and professional corporations, cooperatives, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships and limited liability companies formed or doing business in this state. It also records trademark and assumed business names.

Some of these services include:

  • All motor vehicle transactions, including vehicle license plate and tab renewals, title transfers, trailer registration, and out of state registration.
