The city of Monticello does not require business license to operate a business within the city limits. However, in order to remain compliant with state law and maintain quality of city utilities, the city has several permits required for connection to local utilities as part of the building permit process.

 

The building & utilities permit process is initiated by submitting a Building Permit Application (Including building plans with application can expedite the process). Building permit fees are based on the estimated construction cost of the buildings; see the fee schedule below. After the Building Permit Application is received, the City Engineer will conduct a site inspection. Once the site is approved by the City Engineer, construction can begin.

 

At various stages of the construction process, the building’s electrical, gas, and plumbing will have to be inspected before the building can be occupied or used; see the fee schedule for the various inspections below.
