FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Town Council to Discuss Increase in Business License Fees

Fees last increased in 1996; staff to present a resolution Tuesday, October 24

(October 9, 2023) – Telluride, CO --- At the September 21 Town Council Budget Meeting, Council directed staff to provide insight into current business license fees and modeling for potential changes. After a discussion last week during the regular meeting of Telluride Town Council, business license fees, which have not been adjusted since 1996, are expected to be increased during the Tuesday, October 24 Town Council meeting.

Telluride has a business license code that mandates the licensing of persons doing business within Telluride town limits and Lawson Hill. Non-profits are exempt from this requirement. Business license fees were last increased in 1996 by way of ordinance.   

During Tuesday’s meeting, staff used the precedent set by the 1996 business licenses increase ordinance, which suggested a 10% increase across the board for non-STR business licenses as a starting point for the conversation. Council requested that a resolution be brought to the Tuesday, October 24 meeting with an increase of at least 50% across the board for non-STR business licenses. The agenda item would allow time for discussion and public comment.

The Town plans to post the Tuesday, October 24 Town Council agenda on Wednesday, October 18, which can then be found online at bit.ly/totcouncil. To submit public comment regarding any agenda item, please email clerkcomments@telluride-co.gov no later than Thursday, October 19.

El Ayuntamiento discutirá el aumento de las tarifas de licencias comerciales

Las tarifas aumentaron por última vez en 1996; personal presentará resolución el martes 24 de octubre

(9 de octubre de 2023) – Telluride, CO --- En la reunión de presupuesto del Concejo Municipal del 21 de septiembre, el Concejo ordenó al personal que brindara información sobre las tarifas actuales de licencias comerciales y modelos para posibles cambios. Después de una discusión la semana pasada durante la reunión ordinaria del Ayuntamiento de Telluride, se espera que las tarifas de licencia comercial, que no se han ajustado desde 1996, aumenten durante la reunión del Ayuntamiento del martes 24 de octubre.

Telluride tiene un código de licencia comercial que exige la concesión de licencias a las personas que realizan negocios dentro de los límites de la ciudad de Telluride y Lawson Hill. Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro están exentas de este requisito. Los derechos de licencia comercial se incrementaron por última vez en 1996 mediante una ordenanza.

Durante la reunión del martes, el personal utilizó el precedente establecido por la ordenanza de aumento de licencias comerciales de 1996, que sugería un aumento general del 10% para las licencias comerciales no STR como punto de partida para la conversación. El Consejo solicitó que se presente una resolución en la reunión del martes 24 de octubre con un aumento de al menos el 50% en todos los ámbitos para las licencias comerciales no STR. El tema de la agenda daría tiempo para la discusión y el comentario público.

La ciudad planea publicar la agenda del Concejo Municipal del martes 24 de octubre el miércoles 18 de octubre, que luego se puede encontrar en línea en bit.ly/totcouncil. Para enviar comentarios públicos sobre cualquier tema de la agenda, envíe un correo electrónico a clerkcomments@telluride-co.gov a más tardar el jueves 19 de octubre.
