All businesses in Merriam are required by City ordinance to obtain an occupational license before they can open for business. To download a copy of the occupational license application, click here (Adobe PDF file).
The licenses are in effect for one calendar year and must be renewed each year thereafter. Each December, a renewal form is mailed to businesses on record. The renewal form and payment are due back to City Hall on January 1st and is considered delinquent if not received by March 1st. If such delinquency occurs, a monthly
delinquent charge equal to 1/12 of the license fee shall be assessed retroactive to January 1 of the
licensing year for administrative service in addition to the regular occupational licensing fee.
The fee for licenses is set forth in the fee
schedule maintained by the City Clerk and updated annually. A copy of this fee scheducle can be found in online in Merriam's Municipal Code by clicking here.
