About each permit
Veterinary Facility Municipal License (not found)
No fee applies. The City Clerk's Dog Licensing category covers individual pet licenses, a consumer pet-ownership product, not a veterinary-clinic business credential, and the City Clerk's own license list and the City's fee-schedule database contain no separate veterinary-premises license. Idaho's own veterinary board, recorded at the state layer, likewise licenses only individual veterinarians and technicians with no facility or premises credential, so a veterinary practice's local obligations in Meridian are the same generic building, zoning, and sign requirements recorded elsewhere in this file.
Salon/Barbershop-Specific Municipal License (not found)
No fee applies. The City Clerk's own complete license-category list (Alcohol Catering, Alcohol, Mobile Sales Unit, Temporary Use, Vehicle Immobilization, Fireworks, Pawnbroker & Precious Metal Dealer, Dog Licensing) has no salon- or barbershop-specific product anywhere in it, and neither does the City's own live fee-schedule database. Idaho's own DOPL Barber or Cosmetology Establishment License, recorded at the state layer, remains the real trade-specific credential for this industry.
Mobile Sales Unit License (Vendor)
The City Clerk's own current Mobile Sales Unit (Vendor) application — dated 'Updated 2/26' — states its own fee in its own checklist: 'Application fee - $73.25.' The Temporary Use Permits FAQ page confirms this license's scope in its own words: a mobile sales unit is 'a person or vehicle that travels or goes door-to-door in order to sell something. This includes ice cream trucks, roving food carts, and mobile food venders.' Applicants undergo a criminal background check and are fingerprinted at the City Clerk's Office, must carry general liability insurance naming the City as additional insured ($500,000 per-person and per-occurrence bodily injury, $100,000 property damage), and — where the operation involves cooking — must also obtain a Meridian Fire Department food truck inspection and Central District Health approval, both recorded separately below.
General Business License — City of Meridian position (activity licenses only)
There is no fee for a general Meridian business license: the City Clerk's own page states: 'While the City of Meridian does not require a general business license, some types of activities require a license or permit.' That page's list of what the Clerk issues runs to eight categories (Alcohol Catering Permit, Alcohol Licenses, Mobile Sales Unit License, Temporary Use Permits, Vehicle Immobilization License, Fireworks, Pawnbroker & Precious Metal Dealer Licenses, Dog Licensing) — none of which reaches a plain restaurant, retail store, salon, fitness studio, veterinary clinic, contractor's office, or auto repair shop that serves no alcohol and runs no mobile vending cart.
