Sales tax returns are due quarterly; there is no annual license renewal fee.

2. No Juneau Dog Grooming Permit (animal control is contracted out)

   The City and Borough of Juneau has no animal services department and no dog grooming permit. CBJ's Police Department states that Juneau Animal Rescue, a nonprofit under contract, handles all animal control and protection services (907-789-6997), and neither organization publishes a grooming or kennel permit program. A grooming business in Juneau needs the $50/year Alaska state business license and registration with the CBJ Finance sales tax office before rendering services; if the shop occupies commercial space, CBJ Community Development handles zoning and occupancy review.
