Renewal notices are in the mail for businesses operating in either of the Regional District of Central Okanagan electoral areas. 

Any business that is either based in or works in the Central Okanagan East or Central Okanagan West electoral areas must have a business license with the Regional District.

Communications Officer Bruce Smith says, “This includes communities such as Joe Rich, Ellison, south Lakeshore Road, Brent Road, Trepanier/Paradise Valley, North Westside, Traders Cove, Fintry and Wilson’s Landing.”

Business owners renewing their Regional District license before December 31st pay a reduced rate of $85.  Starting January 1st, an additional $25 late fee will apply to any business license renewal.

Smith adds, “Businesses operating in the Electoral Areas that also work in any of the communities involved in the Inter-Community Business License program may wish to purchase that additional business license.  They must first have a Regional District business license before applying to purchase the Inter-Community Business License for an additional $150.   The inter-community license allows qualifying businesses the flexibility to work in one or more of the participating municipalities without having to purchase a business license for each.”

Renewing or applying for your RDCO business license may be done in person at the Regional District Kelowna office (1450 KLO Road) or by mail.
