What Hibbing requires, and what it doesn't
No general city business license.
Hibbing doesn't list a general business license. Only certain types, such as liquor, tobacco, peddlers, pawnbrokers, massage, taxis, and amusement devices, need one, and applications go to the City Council Office for approval.
Running it from home.
Hibbing's zoning code lists a home occupation as a permitted use, as long as it uses no more than 25% of the home, has no outside employees, and adds no unusual traffic. A larger home business with up to five outside employees needs an Interim Use Permit.
Local support.
