Please be aware that a Business Certificate is not a license to do business. A Business Certificate is simply stating that a business is currently doing business in the Town of Saugus. It does NOT imply that the business has met all permit requirements, or licensing requirements by the Town of Saugus Building, Health and Zoning Departments as may be required, for the legal operation of the business at the stated location.
A Business Certificate is in effect for four years from the date of issue and shall be renewed each four years thereafter. A statement under oath must be filed with the Town Clerk upon discontinuing, retiring or withdrawing from such business.
All businesses other than individuals and corporations doing business under their own or corporate name must file a business certificate.
Business Certificate filing fee: $35.00
Discontinuance of Business: $10.00
No business certificate shall be issued without a completed Workers Compensation Insurance Affidavit. These affidavits are available on-line or in the Town Clerks Office.
