Who needs a City of Greenwood business licence?

Many Canadians hold a romantic ideal of what life in a small-town might be like … shorter commutes, fresher air, safer streets, a stronger sense of community. Greenwood is Canada’s smallest city, a historic town, a community with 676 residents, located along Highway #3 nestled in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and something to be seen.

Anyone carrying on a business in Greenwood for gain or profit needs a Business Licence. Please reference Business Licence Bylaw No. 924, 2018.

Business Licences – $40.00 for a 1 year period (Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st), $60.00 for multi-business using the same entrance, and $20.00 for a seasonal licence.
