Business Licenses & Permits

Welcome to the City of Decatur, Arkansas! If you are interested in having a business here, you may obtain a business license through the city offices located at 310 Maple Ave, Decatur, AR 72722, or call us at 479-752-3912 for more information. The license cost is $25.00 payable in cash, check, or money order. There may be additional documentation required at the time of applying, such as a back ground check, so we encourage you to call us for that information before you visit us. Again that number is 479-752-3912. 

Other things to consider will be the zoning of your buisness location. Does your business fit into the zoning of the area you are thinking of putting your business in? You will find a link to the zoning map, and the zoning ordinance on this page underneath "Documents on this Page."  Other documents you will find there will be the ordinances establishing background checks and business licenses.

Business licenses are due annually. A letter will go out towards the end of November, the first of December reminding all business owners to renew their business licenses. All business licenses must be renewed no later than the end of January of the new year. To obtain an application for a buisness license, you must pick one up at city hall. 

Should you have any questions or can't find your answers here on this page, please call us at 479-752-3912.
