About each permit
Trade Name (DBA) Certificate
Connecticut law requires a fictitious/trade name to be filed with the town clerk rather than the Secretary of the State (confirmed at the state layer), and Bridgeport's own Town Clerk page prices that filing at a flat $20.00, with certified copies an additional $1.00 per copy plus $2.00 for certification. A corporation or LLC operating under its own exact registered legal name does not need this filing; it applies when a business operates under any other name. The Town Clerk's page also notes that a corporation or LLC must complete its Connecticut Secretary of the State filing (recorded at the state layer) before registering a trade name locally.
