HOW TO APPLY FOR A CEDAR FORT COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LICENSE
A Commercial Business is where you operate a venture for monetary gain and where clients or customers may or may not come to your establishment. This is not a home business.
(Please retain for your records)
The Town wishes to offer assistance with the application process and has designed this set of procedures to help you understand some of the requirements for opening a commercial business.
1. Generally, businesses involved with the sale of a tangible product must apply for a State Sales Tax number. You may obtain that number from the State Tax Commission at 210 N. 1950 W., Salt Lake City. If you anticipate commencing business in less than 6 weeks, you will need to apply for that number in person. There is no charge. If the business is a sole proprietorship (or other similar circumstance where there is no immediate need for an EIN number) you may apply for the State Sales Tax Number at the same time as you apply for the DBA (item #2 below). You may obtain both items at the Heber Wells address below. You must provide written proof of a valid sales tax number.
2. If you wish to use a business name (DBA), you must register that name with the State Division of Corporations, Assumed Name Section, located at the Heber Wells Building at 160 E. 300 S., Salt Lake City. There is more information at https://corporations.utah.gov/business/dba.html. The current charge is $22.00 for three years. You must file a written copy of your DBA at the time you file your Commercial Business application. If the business is a Limited Liability Company or Incorporated and you are conducting business using the LLC or corporate name, you must file a State approved copy of the Articles.
3. If the business is being run from rental property, a letter of permission from the owner must accompany the application.
4. Applications are to be typed or completed in black ink. Incomplete applications will be returned. Ordinance allows up to 45 days for processing.

5. Fees for all licenses are established by the Town Council. A copy of the most recently approved fees is available at Town Office. All appropriate fees must accompany the application. Please contact this office for correct computation of pro-rated amounts for regulatory and any applicable disproportionate fees. All fees must be personal check, cashier's check, or money order only; no cash accepted. A $35.00 charge is assessed to checks returned by any financial institution.
6. A copy of the Commercial Business ordinance is available for a nominal charge at the Town Office or online at http://www.townofcedarfort.com/ordinances.htm. Please make sure you are able to comply with those requirements. If you have questions regarding any portion of the ordinance, you should contact the Town Clerk for correct interpretation or explanation.
7. License renewals are due by January 1 each year. Your Business License will indicate an expiration date. Renewal notices will be sent to you as a reminder, but you are ultimately responsible for making sure renewal payments are received prior to delinquency. A 25% delinquent late fee penalty is assessed on accounts not paid within 30 days of due date. After 60 days, an additional 50% delinquent penalty is assessed. If a bill is delinquent after 90 days, it is forwarded for collection. Collection costs are incurred by the applicant.
Please familiarize yourself with license renewal due dates and delinquency rates indicated on both this information sheet and the application page. You must be willing and able to comply with all provisions of the ordinance for license approval.
If you have questions or need assistance in completing this application, please contact the Councilperson Overseeing Business Licenses at 801768-2147, 8, and we will be pleased to be of assistance.
