Seldom-issued licenses
Business license application overview
Minneapolis City staff is proposing amending Title 13 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances relating to Licenses and Business Regulations, deleting or amending various seldom-issued license types and categories to streamline the regulatory process and align with current market needs and practices.
These are a few of the licenses that are included:
- Amusement Devices
- Outdoor Pay Phones
- Amusement Place
- Street Photography
- Carnivals
- Circus
- Sidewalk Flower Cart Vendor
- Motor Scooter Leasing
- Dance Hall
- Dance School
- Pool Tables
- Billiards Hall
If a license type is removed from ordinance, you will not have to pay the annual license fee anymore, and you can continue operating.
