    All businesses operating in the City of Golden must obtain a Sales & Use Tax License. This includes professional services, charitable operations, home businesses, temporary vendors and door-to-door solicitors.

    Guidelines
    • Even businesses that do not “sell” anything must obtain a City license.
    • A separate license is needed for each location in Golden.
    • Licenses are nontransferable.
    • The license fee is $20 and covers a two year period ending on December 31 of each even numbered calendar year.
    • Charitable organizations must license but are exempt from the license fee.
    • Temporary vendors and special events must pay a $50 deposit for their license. The $50 is refunded when they turn in their sales and use tax return for the event.
    • The licensing process insures that the City has current notification information and that the area is properly zoned for that business activity.
    • Door-to-door solicitors are encouraged to have a copy of their license with them.
