The Village of Plainfield adopted a Business License Ordinance requiring all corporate, retail, and home businesses operating in the Village of Plainfield to register and be licensed. To view Ordinance #2083, click Municipal Code Online. You must notify the Building Department when there is a relocation or change in ownership of business. Business Licenses are not transferable from one owner to another or from one location to another. Your account will be closed only after a Business License Cancellation Notice has been fully completed and returned to the Building Department.
