NOTICE TO ALL BUSINESS LICENCE HOLDERS
As we deal with the Canada Post postal strike, we are contacting everyone about the 2025 Business Licences.
Please see the information below:
- A $25.00 discount is available for any new or existing business that pays its business licence fee (minimum $100.00) by December 31, 2024. Please note that the Village Office is closed from December 25, 2024, through January 1, 2025, so our last day in the office is December 24, 2024.
- Proof of insurance naming the Village of Nakusp as an additional insured must be provided annually to the Village by businesses that have a sandwich board, display table/rack, or bistro table and chairs on Village property (such as sidewalks). There should be no charge to you from your insurance company for meeting this requirement. An info sheet explaining the Use of Public Property Bylaw is available for your review. If you have any questions, please reach out to us directly.
- Unlicensed businesses, including businesses with licence fees outstanding after February 28th, 2025, may be subject to fines as set out in the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw.
If you have any changes we need to be aware of, a fillable business licence application/renewal form can be emailed to you, completed and returned to the Village. The completed form can be returned via one of the following options:
- E-mailed to finance@nakusp.com
- Dropped off at the office – 91 1st Street NW
- Alternatively, fillable business licence applications/renewals can be found below.
Payment can be made at the village office via cash, cheque (after hours can be placed in the Mail slot), debit and credit card - extra charge for cc or pay by credit online OptionPay and added fee is shown - https://payment.optionpay.ca/village-of-nakusp/index.php
You may also pay through your Online Banking—go to “Bill Payments,” “new payee,” type in “Nakusp, Village—Utilities,” and it will ask for your “Account Number—this would be your BL Customer Number” (e.g., if your customer number is 1.1.11, you will enter 0000000001111; there should be 13 numbers—no decimals, no spaces).
Unfortunately, E-TRANSFERS are not accepted.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Linda McInnes at 250-265-3689 or finance@nakusp.com.
