City business license dates modified

During their meeting Feb. 15, Rehoboth commissioners voted 5-1 in favor of modifying business license dates. This change was made in order to consolidate and amend business license fees and to provide a simplified licensing schedule. The license year previously ran from July 1 to June 30. Beginning in 2021, the license year will be January 1 through December 31. The license year change will be in line with the State of Delaware's business license year. The business licenses will be issued for 2019/2020 in March, with a June 2019 begin date and expiration date of December 31, 2020. Business license renewals for 2021 will be issued in November 2020.
