Overview

Utah does not have a general state business license. Businesses selling taxable goods or services must obtain a Sales Tax License from the Utah State Tax Commission.

Local Utah cities and counties require business licenses. Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and other municipalities administer their own local business licensing programs.
