Lake Havasu City requires businesses and individuals to obtain a business license when conducting business within City limits prior to operating. Some of these businesses also require a Privilege Tax License.

Every person desiring to engage in business within the City shall submit an application to the Administrative Services Director or designee for a business license accompanied by an annual license fee. No person shall engage in business unless issued a valid business license. Business licenses shall be in effect and valid for 1 year from the date of approval and license shall be renewed each year thereafter, unless earlier cancelled. Below is a list of business license fees.
