Who needs a city business license, where the city has one in Wyoming?

Issued by Your city or town clerk, at step 2 of 6 in the opening sequence: register for tax.

Every kind of business in Wyoming

The Wyoming table lists this for every kind of business.

Wyoming has no statewide general business license. Whether the city licenses your kind of business is a question for the clerk, and the clerk is also where the liquor license is filed; a license cannot be used until the city’s inspections are done. Counties do not license ordinary retail businesses.
