If you operate a business in the Municipality of Greenstone, you may need a business licence. The Municipality requires that some businesses be licenced to ensure public health, safety, and fair business practices.
Apply for business licence
To apply or renew your business licence, you must fill out the business licence application and send it to the Municipality by email or in-person. The license fee can be paid for at any Ward Office, by mail (cheque), debit card, or credit card.
