About this Division

Any person who wishes to operate a business in unincorporated Clark County is required by Clark County Code to obtain a business license. A general license is a term used to describe a basic application. General business licenses are not typically subject to personal history and/or financial suitability investigations.

If you wish to apply in person, completed business license applications can be submitted to the department between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The lobby area remains open until 5:30 p.m. to ensure processing of all applications received in-person during this window as able by the technicians.
