1. City of Fairbanks — City Business License

   Every business operating inside Fairbanks city limits needs a City Business License from the City Clerk’s Office (800 Cushman Street, 907-459-6702), in addition to the Alaska state business license. Each separate line of business needs its own license. Licenses expire the last day of January and renew by the last business day of February; the City will not issue a building permit to a business without a valid license.

2. No FNSB Mobile Groomer Permit (zoning compliance only)

   The Fairbanks North Star Borough does not license or inspect mobile dog grooming operations — FNSB Code Title 22 (Animals) has no licensing chapter, and FNSB Animal Control (907-459-1451) is a shelter and enforcement division of Emergency Operations, not a permitting body. There is also no borough health department. A home-based mobile grooming business is subject only to FNSB Title 18 zoning, which requires the borough’s free zoning permit before a new use begins.
