About each permit
Salon and Barber Shop — State Establishment License; Body Art Licensed Locally (Grand Forks)
The City's Doing Business in Grand Forks page lists no salon or cosmetology license, and City Code Chapter XXI includes no cosmetology article, so there is no city license fee for a hair or nail salon. The trade appears only as a zoning use — 18-0215 lists 'Barber or beauty shops' among permitted B-2 uses. Establishment licensing is a state function under N.D.A.C. 32-03-01-01, which requires every entity 'desiring to operate an establishment' to apply to the board before commencing business, with N.D.C.C. 43-11-28 setting maximum fees of $150.00 for an original establishment license and $100.00 annually to renew. One adjacent trade does carry a real Grand Forks license, and a salon adding it picks up a city obligation: body art is licensed under Chapter XIII Article 10 at $250.00 for a facility, $250.00 for a temporary facility and $30.00 per artist.
