Do I need a Business License?


All vendors selling or promoting their business must be licensed with the City of Aspen.

Temporary Business Licenses for Vendors:

A temporary business license is designed for those conducting business within the City of Aspen on a temporary basis, and it is cheaper and easier to obtain than an annual business license.

  • Temporary Business Licenses are valid for a maximum of 7 days. 
  • If you only anticipate participating as a vendor in a special event for a limited period of time, the Temporary Business License is most likely your best option.

 

Fees:

7 Day Temporary License -      $50.00

Not-for-Profit Organization -      $0.00
