What if I close or sell a business?
If you choose to close or sell your business, please notify the Washoe County Business License office in writing so that your license(s) will be cancelled. If you have closed/sold your business and did not notify the Business License office, but have received a renewal reminder notice, you may note on the notice that you are no longer in business and return the notice to the office. Be sure to include the business name, address, owner name, date of business closure, and signature of the owner in any notification of a closed business.
If you received your license through the multi-jurisdictional business license process, contact your home jurisdiction (wherein your business office is located) to cancel your business license. The home jurisdiction will notify the other jurisdictions of your closed business.
