Tax & Licensing Division

 

Tax and Licensing Overview

All businesses with a physical location in Louisville are required to have a sales/use tax license for their business, regardless of whether or not goods and services are sold.

Additionally, all businesses who meet the definition of engaged in business with the city, but who are not located in the city are also required to have a sales/use tax license (see Section 3.20.020 & 3.20.402 of the Louisville Municipal Code).

It shall be the duty of each licensee, on or before January 1 of each year, to obtain a renewal of the licensee’s license if the licensee continues to conduct business in the City or is liable to account for the tax provided for in the Louisville Sales/Use Tax Code. No license is transferable, and any business transacted at one or more separate premises by one person shall obtain a separate license for each place of business. The annual license fee is $25 for in-city businesses.
