A client should first visit our customer centre where he/she will register the business requiring a business levy, fire certificate and other licences. At this centre details are updated.

Whether grant or renewal. A levy does not require health and building reports as these will be assessed independently by the relevant departments.

However a health permit will require assessment of the premises before it is issued by our health inspectorate. Payment of a health permit is made direct in our revenue hall. It does not require updating.
