What is the process for becoming licensed (for business license and child care license) and how much does it cost?
Because each local jurisdiction varies greatly in it’s requirements, you should contact the Surveyor for your area to get information on becoming licensed. Some areas have zoning restrictions, special use permits, business license requirements, fire or health restriction, etc. which may have associated costs. To learn about the Bureau of Services for Child Care’s (for state-regulated centers) licensing fees and regulations, go to: www.dcfs.state.nv.us and link to Child Welfare/Bureau of Services for Child Care. In Washoe County, either call 337-4470 to discuss the requirements or visit their website at: www.washoecounty.us/socsrv/socsrv_child_childcare.html.
