Business License and Registration

The Community Development Department administers the processing and issuance of business registrations and licensing for any type of business activity within the city. This includes commercial enterprises, restaurants, home occupations, and temporary businesses such as firework stands, seasonal sales and special events.

All businesses operating in New Mexico must register with the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department. If you operate a business and you are located within the city limits of the City of Las Cruces, you must also have a City Business Registration or License.

A business registration or license is valid for one year.  Each year the business must renew the registration or license. Businesses will receive a renewal reminder from the Community Development Department.

If you are interested in obtaining a business registration or license, the following information is available to assist you.  If you have any questions, contact the Community Development Department at (575) 541-2287.
