How do I start a small business in Plymouth Township?
All businesses are required to obtain a Use and Occupancy permit first, then apply for a Mercantile License (for wholesale or retail businesses) or a Business Privilege License (for service businesses). The fee for a Use and Occupancy permit depends on the size of the commercial space. License fees range from $25.00 – $50.00. The application for a Use and Occupancy permit can be downloaded from the forms section of our website. Please call Building and Zoning at 610-277-4103 and the tax office at (610)277-4100 for more information.
