Inter-Community Business Licence
If your business operates in more than one jurisdiction and the business you conduct performs a service in more than one community (by moving from client to client rather than having a client come to a fixed place of business), an Inter-Community Business Licence could be for you. The types of businesses included in the InterCommunity Licencing program, include but are not limited to the following:
- General Contractors
- Trades (Plumbers, Electricians, etc.)
- Cleaning Services
- Pest Control
This licence includes the following participating municipalities and the yearly fee is $250.00:
| City of Campbell River | 250-286-5700 |
| Town of Comox | 250-339-2202 |
| Village of Cumberland | 250-336-2291 |

What if my business is outside all of these participating local governments?
Businesses that do not have a physical location in any of the participating communities must first obtain a standard business licence from any one of the participating communities and then also obtain an Inter-Community Business Licence from that same community.
