Larkspur Businesses (Non-Renaissance)

Please read carefully to determine if you are required to have a Larkspur business license, and look at SB 22-032 if you have any questions.

On April 21, 2022, Governor Polis signed SB 22-032 into law. This law impacts the licensing of retailers that are subject to sales and use taxes in local jurisdictions but that do not have a physical presence or only have a limited physical presence in those jurisdictions. The law imposed the following limitations on all local taxing jurisdictions and asserts that it includes home rule municipalities:

• Starting July 1, 2022: Municipalities can no longer charge a fee for a general business license to a retailer that (1) has a state standard retail license, (2) makes retail sales within the local taxing jurisdiction, and (3) either does not have a physical presence in the local taxing jurisdiction or has only an incidental physical presence.
• Starting July 1, 2023: Municipalities can no longer require a retailer, as described above, to separately apply for a general business license. If the municipality requires a general business license, it must automatically issue it at no charge to the retailer using the information provided by the Department of Revenue.

Q: What licenses does this bill impact?
A: SB 22-032 uses the term “general business license”; however, this term is defined to mean any license issued by a municipality “that a retailer must obtain to legally make retail sales in the municipality,” regardless of what the municipality calls the license. Occupational licenses or licenses to engage in business activity other than making retail sales of goods are not included.

Q: What constitutes “physical presence” or “incidental physical presence” for a business?
A: “Physical presence” means the business is performing or providing services or selling, leasing, renting, delivering, or installing tangible personal property for storage, use, or consumption within the municipality. Activities that constitute “physical presence” are listed in the bill at C.R.S. § 39-26-802.9(2)(e)(I). “Incidental physical presence” means that the business infrequently, and not regularly within the ordinary course of its business activities, either: 1) sends employees into the municipality to conduct certain activities including installation, assembly, and repair; 2) maintains employees on duty at a location in the municipality; or 3) engages in other activities in the municipality subjecting it to other business, fire, zoning, or other regulations of the municipality. An employee may include an agent or commissioned salesperson for purposes of determining presence.

If you do not have a business within the town limits and have determined that you need not apply for a paid license based on the criteria above [(1) has a state standard retail license, (2) makes retail sales within the local taxing jurisdiction, and (3) either does not have a physical presence in the local taxing jurisdiction or has only an incidental physical presence] and would like a free business license, please click here to download your free 2024 Incidental Presence Business License.
