  1. City of Overland Park - No General Business License (Specialty Licenses Only)

    Overland Park does not require a general business license or Certificate of Occupancy renewal for most businesses. The City Clerk's office administers a small set of specialty licenses (massage therapist/establishment, pawnbroker, precious metal dealer, taxi/limo/car service, transient merchant) for businesses that fall into those categories; a Certificate of Occupancy is a one-time requirement tied to the space, not an annual business license.

    $0 general license (specialty licenses only, fees vary by license type)not applicable unless a specialty license applies

  2. Overland Park — No Mobile Groomer Permit (Animal Control and zoning only)

    Johnson County has no Animal Services department, and Overland Park does not license mobile dog grooming. The city's Business Licenses page lists only five licensed categories — massage, pawnbroker, precious metal dealer, taxi/limo and transient merchant — and states that Overland Park does not license home-based businesses at all, so no home-occupation permit applies to a groomer working out of a van. Animal-welfare and nuisance rules are enforced by the City of Overland Park's Animal Control unit; confirm with City Hall at 913-895-6000 whether any vehicle or animal-handling condition applies at your address before you start.
