Notice of New Business Licensing and Regulation Bylaw

Posted on

Cumberland Council intends to adopt a new bylaw to regulate and licence businesses, along with a revised fee structure in the Fees Bylaw for business licences. Both bylaws will be considered at the Council meeting of November 24, 2025.

The proposed Business Licencing and Regulation Bylaw No. 1239, 2025 updates and consolidates existing regulations to modernize the bylaw, provide clearer definitions, incorporate additional business types, clarify administrative processes, and align with current provincial legislation.

The revised fee schedule included in Fees Amendment Bylaw 1242, 2025 better aligns with the cost to the Village of administering the business licencing system. A level playing field for businesses in the community is an important part of supporting robust economic development and guiding future growth.

Business Licence Fee Schedule

Please view the Fees Amendment Bylaw No.1242, 2025 for the fee schedule.
