Application Submission
Business owners may submit the necessary application(s) appropriate for their business. It may help to review the list of Business Types that require local license first. For example, some businesses require multiple local license which are processed separately.
This is a new portal and first time users must register an account to submit an application online. Step-by step instructions are available and the Licensing Administrator is available to assist business owners during hours of operations.
NEW ONLINE APPLICATION & PAYMENT PORTAL
A completed application is due every year along with payment. Please be sure to attach any required information (i.e., proof of insurance, State license, floor plan, etc) with your application.
Checks may be made out to City of South Portland and mailed to:
Office of the City Clerk
Attn: Licensing Administrator
25 Cottage Road
South Portland, ME 04106
Please do not mail cash.
Once the application is received, applications typically take two weeks to obtain all required approvals. Once processed, your license will be available on your dashboard.
Licenses are not able to be issued the same day the application is received.
