Business Licences

If you operate a business within the City of Cornwall, you may need a business licence. Please select the option that best matches your type of business. As per the Business Licence By-law, each category has specific requirements.

Projects and other permits

Depending on your business projects, you may also need a building permit for construction, renovations, signage or changing the use of a space. Zoning regulations determine how you can use land across the City, including rules on building types, business activities and parking requirements, and inspections ensure that your business meets safety, health and zoning standards.
