About each permit
Municipal Business Licensing — City Clerk's License List (Retail, Auto Repair, Veterinary, Fitness, Salon)
There is no City Clerk license fee for these industries: the City Clerk's Licenses & Permits page lists the licenses the office issues — Amusement Devices, Chauffeurs, Pawnbrokers & Secondhand Dealers, Shows, Taxicabs, and Vendors (flea markets, hawkers and peddlers, itinerant vendors and street fairs) — and that list names no category for an ordinary retail store, auto repair shop, veterinary practice, fitness studio, or salon, nor anything equivalent to Manchester's narrow 'High Impact Retail' tobacco/vapor/lottery carve-out. The Nashua obligations recorded for these industries are the commercial building permit, Certificate of Occupancy, sign permit, and zoning approvals in the other records for Nashua, layered on top of any relevant New Hampshire state-layer credential (the Repairer Registration for auto repair, the Board of Veterinary Medicine's individual practitioner license, and the Barbering, Cosmetology or Esthetics Shop License for a salon; the New Hampshire state layer records no statewide fitness-industry license).
Vendor's License (Hawker/Peddler — Food Truck)
A mobile food vendor applies under the 'Hawker or Peddler' category on the City Clerk's Vendor License Application. Section 231-11 requires a certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured and states plainly that 'a separate food service license (in addition to the vendor's license) must be obtained from the Environmental Health Department' for any food or beverage sales — confirming a Nashua food truck genuinely stacks this City Clerk license on top of the Environmental Health Department's own Mobile Food Service License and Nashua Fire Rescue's Food Truck/Trailer Inspection, both recorded separately below.
