New Businesses/Rental(Leasing) Properties –

If you anticipate opening a new business or renting/leasing property within the Borough of Wyomissing, it is imperative that you file an Application for a Business Privilege License.   Pursuant to Ordinance No. 1237, amending Ordinance No. 1185, it provides that any person desiring to conduct, or to continue to conduct, any business within the Borough of Wyomissing, shall file an application for a Business Privilege License with the Borough of Wyomissing, and shall pay forty ($40) dollars for the initial fee and pay twenty ($20) dollars for each annual renewal thereof.   A business privilege license is NOT transferable with the sale of a business or change in ownership.   A new application needs to be filed if the business is sold or changes owners.

There are three classifications of Applications:  (1) Commercial; (2) Home Based Business (a business being operated from the home) and (3) Rental properties.  Please note that the home based and rental/leasing applications have a second page that is required.

Please keep in mind that failure to comply with the above-referenced Ordinance or conducting business in the Borough of Wyomissing without a current Business Privilege License can result in a fine up to six hundred ($600) dollars, plus costs.
