Washoe Business License Applications Moving Online

Business owners will be able to apply and pay for business licenses and permits in Washoe County online, for the first time ever this summer. Our reporter Rocio Hernandez has more.  

The regional business license and permits program is an effort by the cities of Reno and Sparks along with Washoe County and the health district that will connect them digitally to customers. Amber Drlik with the City of Reno says this change has been repeatedly asked for in customer surveys.

"This will make it so anyone can apply for a license or a permit 24 hours a day, pay online. They won't have to come into the office; they won't have to mail things in."

The four agencies will also share data between themselves, making it easier for people to submit applications or renewals for business licenses and permits in multiple jurisdictions.

Drlik says customers can expect to pay a small annual technology fee after the program goes live in August.
