Business/Sales & Use Tax Licensing

All businesses operating in the City of Woodland Park must obtain a Business/Sales & Use Tax License.  This includes professional services, charitable organizations, home businesses, temporary vendors, and door-to-door solicitors.

Note:  Even businesses that do not “sell” anything must obtain a City license.

• Licenses are nontransferable from person to person.
• The annual license fee is $50 and covers a one-year period ending December 31 of each calendar year.  (Late fees apply for delinquent renewals.)
• Charitable or tax-exempt organizations must be licensed but are exempt from the license fee.
• No license fee shall be assessed to any person or entity conducting business activities within the corporate limits of the city two times per year or less.
• Temporary vendors and special events are not required to be licensed, but a Special Events Packet is available that provides the information and forms to collect and remit applicable sales tax.
• Door-to-door solicitors are encouraged to carry a copy of their license with them.

If your business is in a residential location, you must complete a Home Occupation Zoning Development Permit in addition to the Business/Sales & Use Tax License application.
