All businesses operating within the Woodburn city limits must obtain a Business Registration Certificate. You can View the Business Registration Ordinance here.  Registration applications are available by clicking here (in Adobe Acrobat format), or at the Finance counter in City Hall (270 Montgomery Street).  If you have any questions about Business Registrations that are not answered below, please call Vee Ott in the Finance Department at (503)982-5215.

The fee for home occupation businesses is $25 per year.  The fee for all other Businesses is $50 per year & transfers of ownership must be accompanied by a  $20 fee.  The annual registration fee must be paid at the Finance counter upon the filing of the application for a new business registration certificate, or upon the annual renewal of the Registration on the one year anniversary date of the original application. Applications, renewals, and fees may also be sent by mail to the Finance Department (270 Montgomery Street, Woodburn Oregon  97071). Failure to submit applications by the required dates will subject the applicant to a delinquency charge.

Businesses engaged in food services must present proof of a current Marion County Health Department license before the Business Registration will be issued.

Business owners are responsible for updating the Finance Department staff of any changes in mailing addresses, business location, or other pertinent information.
