Every business with a Lehi address needs a Lehi City business license. That includes home businesses, but the home occupation license is free unless your business needs a fire inspection, which carries a $50 impact fee. A general business license is $140. Licenses last 12 months, and renewals are online.
Fees, steps and contacts are from Lehi City's business license page, read Nov. 9, 2026. For other cities, see our Orem business license and Provo business license guides.

Which application to use
All applications are online except solicitors':
- General Business License: a brick-and-mortar location in Lehi.
- Home Occupation Business License: a business run from your home. Fill out the home business self-inspection form, too.
- Temporary Use Business License: short-term uses such as a fireworks stand or Christmas tree lot.
- Mobile Food Vendor License: food trucks. Include a state-approved fire inspection of each truck, or a photo of the current inspection sticker in the window.
- Solicitor License: in person only (see below).
If you charge sales tax, every application needs your Sales Tax License Certificate from the Utah State Tax Commission. The applications also ask for a Utah County Assessor letter. See our Utah County sales tax rates guide.
What happens after you apply
- Planning approval. Every application, home businesses included, goes to the Planning Department, which checks that your business is allowed in that zone. Before you sign a lease, call Planning at 385-201-1030.
- Fire inspection, if required. Email Lehi's fire inspector to schedule it; fire inspection questions go to 385-201-2224.
- Payment. Once you're approved, the city emails you a link to pay online.
- Your license arrives by email. Print it and post it where customers can see it.
Door-to-door solicitors
Solicitor licenses are in person at Lehi City Hall, 131 N. 100 E., for $50 per solicitor. Bring:
- The completed solicitor application.
- A valid photo ID.
- A BCI report (Utah criminal history) run in the last six months, from the state Bureau of Criminal Identification, 3888 W. 5400 S., Taylorsville, 801-965-4445.
The city takes your photo and issues a badge to wear while soliciting. Groups of more than five should call 385-201-1000 first. Solicitors may knock only between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m., and never at a door with a No Soliciting sign.
Renewing
- Lehi renews online through Civic Review. 31 days before your license expires, you'll get an email from do-not-reply@civicreview.com with a reference number and PIN.
- Renew before the expiration date. Late renewals carry a 35% penalty, and it's your responsibility even if the email never arrives.
- Lost the email, need your PIN or closing the business? Email businesslicenses@lehi-ut.gov.
