If you own or manage a Kirksville business, it’s time to complete your business license renewal for 2025. Business license renewals were mailed the first week of January on pink paper to valid business license holders. Business license renewals are due back to the City on or before February 28, 2025. Return the completed renewal form, along with all required documents and fees, to the Finance Department at City Hall. If you have not received your renewal notice, please contact the Finance Department at 660.627.1251. If not renewed by February 28, your business license is delinquent and subject to a $100 late fee. The failure of any contractor to renew a contractor’s license by March 1 requires the contractor to pay a recertification fee of $100. The failure of any contractor to renew a contractor’s license by March 31 requires any contractor who does not meet the waiver requirements to retest, regardless of previous waivers issued, and start the application process for a new business license. To receive a contractor, electrician, or plumber’s license, the contractor has to pass their respective test, unless they qualify for an exemption to the testing which might be in effect at that time. Additionally, the City wants to remind businesses of the Student Discount program. More than 20 local businesses are offering discounts or specials to students attending A.T. Still University, Moberly Area Community College’s Kirksville campus and Truman State University. If this is something your business is interested in, visit kirksville.gov/p/student-discount for information on how to participate.
