Business Licenses
The City of Cheney recently adopted an ordinance which requires that most businesses operating within the city limits after June 1, 2009, must obtain a City of Cheney business license. Although Ordinance V-06 waives the business license fee for 2009, you are still required to apply for a business license. In 2010, the annual business license fee will be one-half the normal rate, or $15. In 2011 and following, the annual cost will be just $30. Applications for business licenses are available at the Building Department, 112 Anderson Road, as well as at City Hall, 609 2nd Street, or on line at www.cityofcheney.org . Upon receipt of your completed application form, the appropriate City departments will review your application, and when it is issued, your business license will be mailed to you. A few categories of business are EXEMPT from the business license requirement. These include: 1. All governmental entities including public and private elementary, secondary, high schools, and universities;
2. Deliverers of newspapers and periodicals;
3. Deliverers to and persons soliciting orders from retail establishments for the delivery and sale of goods, wares and merchandise to retailers for resale unless located within the City;
4. Any person or organization conducting a nonprofit enterprise when the enterprise is operated without private profit, for a public, charitable, educational, literary, fraternal or religious purpose;
5. Minors engaged in babysitting;
6. Sales by farmers/gardeners of their own produce;
7. Temporary craft booths;
8. Any person, firm, or corporation that the City is forbidden to tax by law; and
9. Any person engaged in the casual sale of items of personal property where the person conducting such sale is not regularly engaged in the business of selling items of personal property (for example, garage sales and bake sales).
