About each permit
General Business License — City of New Haven position
The City's citywide 'Licenses & Permits' page lists an entry called 'Business License' that links to the Building Department's 'Permit & License Center Applications' page. That page lists specific activity licenses — Amusement, Auction/Auctioneer, Broker, Rooming House, Sales, and Street Vendors/Peddlers, plus contractor applications — and names no general license to operate a business, so no fee applies for one. The City's 'Business' landing page lists Bids & Contracts, Building & Development, Business Resources, Economic Development, Equal Opportunities and Tax Information. A business here still owes whichever activity-specific local license below applies, plus Connecticut's own state-level registrations recorded on the Connecticut state page.
