On Monday, Kelowna City Council will be considering several changes to its business license application and renewal.
According to Greg Wise, Business License Manager for the City of Kelowna, the current system has received only minor updates since it was first implemented over 20 years ago.
The city of Kelowna is proposing several updates, including a $ 25 fee for new applicants and a $ 25 fee for businesses that fail to meet the annual renewal deadline.
These new fees correspond to comparable cities. Vancouver charges a registration fee of $ 58 while Vernon charges between $ 25 and $ 100.
