How to Obtain an Allentown, PA Business License

Allentown Finance Revenue and Audit publishes annual city business license fees alongside Business Privilege Tax rules, forms, and Citizen Self-Service options so Lehigh County businesses register locally before operating inside Allentown limits.

If you are transacting business in Allentown, PA, you may be subject to city-level and county-level licensing requirements beyond the baseline state requirements. Local governments independently establish their own licensing scopes, fee schedules, exemptions, and compliance deadlines.

Failure to register at the local level can result in significant financial penalties, retroactive tax assessments, and the suspension of your legal right to conduct business operations within municipal boundaries.
