Business Licences
Lac La Biche County now has a Business License Program, Bylaw 22-002, to help us understand the types of businesses running in our municipality, the services they offer, the number of staff and who is running them. This information also helps us determine business gaps, track new businesses, business activity in Lac La Biche County, and communicate with you more effectively.
Promoting Your Business
One of the reasons we've started a Business License Program is to assist promoting what you offer to our community, the greater region, and beyond. We ask for your website address, social media accounts and other contact information so we can help tell the story about you and your business.
You can opt-out of our online business listing on the application form, but we encourage you to be listed.
How To Apply
We have a convenient online application process that provides us with all of the information we need to complete your application. Once we receive payment and confirm your details we will send the needed materials back to you without having to visit our office. Please be sure to fill out the portion of the form that asks who to send the license to and your preferred method of contact from us.
Before Getting Started we ask that you refer to our Business Category Listing to find the type of business you are operating. You will need this information to complete your application.
