LICENCES EXPIRE DEC. 31

Ponoka business licences due for 2025 renewal

Nov 25, 2024 | 12:32 PM

The Town of Ponoka would like to remind local business owners they have until Dec. 31, to renew their business licences for 2025.

Town officials say businesses that operate, provide or sell a product or service within, or partially within, the Town of Ponoka corporate boundaries are required to have a valid Ponoka business licence and renew it annually as per the Business Licence Bylaw.

Licences approved for 2024 expire on Dec. 31. When renewing a business licence, any changes in information should be provided, such as:

  • Change of business location
  • Contact information
  • Change in ownership

Changes such as these should be provided in writing by emailing permits@ponoka.ca.

Renewal notices were mailed to all local business prior to the postal strike, Town representatives say, and those who haven’t received one should email permits@ponoka.ca or call 403-783-0119.

To pay for the licence during the postal strike, business owners can:

  • Pay in person at the Town Office by cash, debit, credit or cheque.
  • Pay through your bank, either in person or online.
  • Pay with a credit card by using the Town’s credit card payment slip or calling 403-783-0119. Fill in the payment slip with your credit card information, your signature, and dollar amount for the bill payment. Completed forms can then be submitted to permits@ponoka.ca or dropped off at the Town Office (second floor of the Ponoka Civic Centre).

For more information, call the Town’s Development Services Department at 403-783-0119.

For new businesses in Ponoka, business licence applications can be made online through the “Business Licence Application Form” and “Letter of Intent Form.” Applicants can also visit the second floor of the Ponoka Civic Centre for assistance.
