Business  License Administration 
A business license is considered smart business for a community of any size. It puts into place a record of value that our community considers important if a business is going to operate and be successful. Ensuring that product safety has been met, building codes adhered to, and that zoning restrictions have been enforced are components of a well-thought out business license. 

According to Chapter 804 of the City of Coopersville Ordinances; "No person shall engage in any trade, business or profession without first applying for, paying a fee and obtaining a license from the Clerk or other duly authorized issuing authority.” 

You need a Business License if you have a physical presence in the City of Coopersville whether it is a commercial location or a business operated out of your home.

You may review the Business Regulations and Taxation Code in its entirety by going to our City Ordinances. You may download the Business License application or you may pick up the application at the City Clerk’s Office. (dowlaod below) 

All businesses will need to contact the Michigan Department of Treasury for further requirements in regards to conducting business, visit their web site at  www.michigan.gov/treasury.

Peddler/Solicitor Licenses 
According to Chapter 860 of the City Ordinances; “No person shall engage in the business of hawking, peddling or vending any goods, wares, merchandise, fruits, vegetables, foodstuffs or services from door to door, or from or upon the streets, alleys and public places, or from any hotel or rooming house, either by sample or by taking orders, or otherwise, for delivery then or in the future, without first having obtained a license therefore as provided in the chapter.”
