Business Licenses
The following are processes that should occur before a business license is issued:
- To verify zoning and if the requested use is permitted at a particular location, contact Jennifer Henaghan at (630) 693-7525.
- If you would like to schedule an optional FREE pre-sale/pre-lease inspection, contact Sandy at (630) 693-7521.
- Complete a business license application and submit it, along with $150 background fee plus $50 for each additional owner, to the Finance Department. Click here for our new online portal. Please contact Bridget at (630) 693-7573 with business license questions. Please submit a completed Wastewater Profile with your business license application. You may download a copy of the Wastewater Profile here.
- The Addison Police Department will contact you to set up fingerprinting. There is an additional fee of $28.25 per person charged by the Illinois State Police that will be required at fingerprinting.
- Upon approval from the Police Department, you will receive a call to come in and pay your business license fee (based on square footage and type of business).
- Once your business is operating, you will receive a letter from the Community Development Department notifying you of your business license inspection date. Once your inspection has been approved by the inspector, your business license will be mailed to you.
