Pet groomers in Wichita must obtain a city business license and meet sanitation standards in Chapter 6, but the activity itself is unlicensed at the state level. Mobile groomers must comply with parking and water-discharge rules.
Wichita does not require a separate occupational license for pet groomers, but the business needs a Chapter 11 city business license, sales tax registration, and compliance with Chapter 6 animal welfare and sanitation standards. Wastewater from grooming must discharge to the sanitary sewer rather than the storm drain to comply with Wichita stormwater rules. Mobile grooming vans may park on private property of the customer with permission but cannot block sidewalks or use public hydrants. Home-based grooming is treated as a home occupation under the Unified Zoning Code with limits on customer traffic and signage.
Business license suspension, stormwater violations, code enforcement citations, and zoning penalties for exceeding home occupation limits.
