The Deputy City Clerk division oversees the various licensing activities including regulation of business (occupational), craftsman, alcohol and liquor dispensing licenses.

Any business operating or providing a service in Liberty is required to have a Business (Occupation) License. The license is required before a business can begin operating. This requirement applies to business entities regardless of their size or composition: corporation, partnership, association, company, individual or any other type of business structure. A few professions, which are licensed by the State, most notably doctors, dentists and lawyers, do not require business licenses.

To verify if you need a business license, contact the Deputy City Clerk’s division at 816.439.4417.
