Business Registration Certificates

The City of Ramsey requires that every business obtain a Business Registration Certificate/Business License (BRC) annually to operate in the City.

About the BRC

The BRC was established to collect important information on current occupancy (and occupancy changes within buildings) and to update and review records regarding emergency contact lists, fire preplans, inspections, and hazardous materials. Information obtained through the application will not be available to the general public and will be viewed only by the Police, Fire, and Community Development Departments. This license is in addition to any other license you must apply for to operate in the City legally.

New Applications

The BRC application must be received 30 days prior to your intended occupancy in the City. Upon receipt of the application and required fee, City staff will review the application and determine whether the business complies with the City and Minnesota State Building and Fire Codes. Upon receipt of your approved BRC, you will then be able to occupy your space and operate your business. The BRC must be displayed in a location accessible to the public.
