Business Licensing

About us

Located in a beautiful and one of a kind location with wonderful opportunities, West Yellowstone, Montana is a natural for business. New businesses, both seasonal and year-round, are encouraged and welcomed.  Prior to opening, all new businesses must secure a business license.  Failure to obtain a Town business license is a violation of Town ordinances.

If a business will sell any goods or services that are subject to the Town’s resort tax, then a refundable resort tax bond in the sum of $500 must accompany the business license application. The resort tax bond shall be executed by a surety company licensed to do business in Montana. In lieu of a surety bond, the applicant may submit a cash bond of equal amount. (Reference section 5.04.060 of the Town of West Yellowstone Municiple code)
