1. No Sioux Falls General Business License Required

   Sioux Falls has no general business license, and business licensing is not handled by the Finance Department. The Licensing Office operates under the City Attorney's Office and states that 'not all businesses and professions need City licensing'; Code of Ordinances Sec. 110.026 lists the complete set of licenses the city issues. Licensing is split across departments: City Attorney's Office (alcohol, medical cannabis, pawnbroker and secondhand dealers, transportation services, circus, fortune telling, motion picture theater, livery, charitable/educational/religious registration), City Clerk (raffle and bingo), Police Records (alarm businesses, peddler/mobile food), Planning and Building Services (contractor licensing), Landfill (hauler license), Water Reclamation (liquid waste generators), and the Sioux Falls Health Department (daycare, tattoo artist and establishment). Massage therapists are licensed by the state Board of Massage Therapy. If your business type is not on that list, no city license is required.

2. DBA (Fictitious Business Name) Registration

   If you operate under a business name that does not plainly show the true surname of each owner, SDCL 37-11-1 requires a fictitious name statement. File it electronically with the South Dakota Secretary of State, or on paper with a county Register of Deeds - there is no 'county clerk' DBA filing in South Dakota. The registration must be renewed every fifth year. Banks generally require it to open a business account under the trade name.
