Opening a Business in Dayton

Opening a business is an exciting time. We are happy to assist you to make certain all requirements specific to your business are met prior to your opening. We recommend contacting the Town’s zoning office, prior to signing a lease or purchasing property.

A business license is required to operate in the Town of Dayton. Business License applications are available for download on our website, but we ask that you contact our office at 540-879-2241 prior to submitting a new application to ensure you have the right forms for your type of business. The application will be reviewed by the zoning administrator to assure business use is allowed in the desired location. 

Dependent on the type of business, there may be other requirements including taxes and licenses, so please visit our License Fees and Taxes page for more information. We look forward to assisting you.
