Home Occupation Permits: Boulder vs Longmont

What permits do I need to start a home business in Longmont?

Submit a Home Occupation Affidavit to Longmont Planning & Development Services (no fee) certifying compliance with the home occupation standards in Title 15. If you sell tangible goods or taxable services, obtain a Sales and Use Tax License from the Finance Department ($25 one-time). Some regulated professions (contractors, food service, cannabis, alcohol) need additional state or local licenses.

Is there an annual renewal for Longmont's home occupation affidavit?

The Home Occupation Affidavit itself is a one-time filing, but the Sales and Use Tax License must be kept current and tax returns filed on schedule. Material changes to your home business — adding employees, increasing customer visits, moving operations to a new accessory structure — should be disclosed to Planning & Development Services so the affidavit remains accurate.
