Mat-Su Borough will no longer require business licenses

PALMER — Businesses operating in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough will no longer be required to purchase and display a borough license starting this week.

First implemented in late 1995, the license carried a $100 fee and renewal was required every two years. Businesses that paid for the license prior to the repeal vote will not receive a refund, Borough Manager Mike Brown said Tuesday. More than 10,000 entities currently hold borough business licenses, according to assembly member Stephanie Nowers, whose district includes Palmer.for at least 20 years, according to a memo accompanying the proposal. Income from the license fees functions only as a business tax, the memo states.
