Multi-Jurisdictional Business License Process
If you are a new business owner who works within more than one local jurisdiction, you will need a separate business license for each area.  Reno, Sparks and Washoe County have made it possible for you to process your application and pay your combined licensing fees at one location!  This is only for brand new licenses and not renewals.
For more information on the multi-jurisdictional business license process, 
click here (16KB PDF) or visit the multi-jurisdictional business license web page.
