1. City of Casper Business/Health License (most businesses exempt)

   Casper does not require a general business license. The city licenses only enumerated business types (junk dealers, pawnshops, itinerant merchants, unsolicited salesmen, secondhand dealers, hotels/rooming houses, buses, taxicabs). However, businesses affecting public health - food service (including catering, food trucks, and bakeries), child day cares, body art/tattoo studios, massage therapy, and lodging - must obtain a City of Casper health license through the City Clerk after Casper-Natrona County Health Department inspection. Most other businesses (salons, trades, professional and personal services) need no city business license.
