About Licenses: Business: All people selling products or services within the City limits are required to purchase a Business License from the City Office. Business Licenses are required by all store fronts, home based businesses, door to door sales people, trades people, and any party wishing to conduct business within the City of Martensville. Business licensing helps ensure compliance with land use and building regulations as well as providing important information for community planning and needs assessment. Home Based Businesses are applied for, as per Martensville’s Zoning Bylaw. There are regulations which must be met with regard to storage of materials, noise, signs etc. If you are considering a Home Based Business please contact the Planning Office prior to commencing operation. It can take up to two months for the process to take its course and it may require a recommendation from Council prior to starting your business.
