Special Business Licenses

Certain types of businesses are required to have more than one license. Usually the second license is a Special License.  Note:  you may require additional licensing from other governmental agencies in addition to your Town of Paradise License.  The special License is issued based on a review of the application and may require approval by the Police Department, fingerprinting* and background checks.

*Fingerprinting must be done at the Paradise Police Department.

If your business is listed below, you require a special business license in addition to a general business license.  The instructions for the special business license can be accessed through the links below.
