Business Licensing Program

The Business License Program is part of the Village’s proactive code enforcement efforts. Its purpose is to help insure Round Lake Beach is a safe and attractive place to shop for goods & services and to conduct business. New businesses work with the Director of Inspections to obtain a business license as part of the process of establishing a business. Existing businesses participate in a 4-step annual renewal process every spring that includes the below (note that there are specialized guidelines for vending machines and ice cream vendors):

1. Submission of renewal form to provide updated information

2. Payment of an annual fee

3. An inspection to assure compliance with all property maintenance codes

4. Resolution of outstanding issues such as unpaid bills
