How long is my license good for?
You are required to file a Net Profit Return at the end of the business’ normal tax year. For example, if you file your federal taxes on a calendar year, your Net Profit return will be due April 15, the same as your federal tax return. The due date for fiscal year filers is the same as the due date for their federal tax return. Your license will remain in good standing as long as your Net Profit Returns are filed timely.

Occupational License
Show All Answers
1.
How do I know if I need an Occupational License?
Any person, partnership, or corporation engaged in any occupation or profession in the City of Henderson is required to obtain an Occupational License.
2.
What is the first thing I need to do in order to obtain an Occupational License?
Whether you have an actual store in the city or you are planning to work out of your home office or garage, you first need to contact the Codes Department, located at 1990 Barret Ct, Suite B. They have an Existing Building Verification Form or the Residential Business Verification you need to complete. Once that has been completed and approved, you then need to complete the Occupational License Application, which is available on this website or in our office at the City Municipal Center, located at 222 First St. Completing the Occupational License Application and paying the $25.00 application fee gets your account established with the city.

What if I only do business for part of the year and then close or move my business out of the city?
You will need to file a final Net Profit Return and pay the tax due for the period of time that your business had activity in the City of Henderson. You will fill in the appropriate information on the Net Profit Return to make the account inactive.
