Public Ways & Places
Business License
The Central Texas economy continues to thrive, attracting new residents to the area along with a rapidly expanding network of service providers and businesses. As a premier destination near Austin, Lakeway is also experiencing strong growth. This brings exciting new opportunities and presents challenges that must be addressed to preserve the character of our special city.
City Council recently approved a series of changes designed to help manage this growth. One of these changes is the requirement for each Lakeway business to complete a Business License Application to operate in the city. This Business License will:
- Help the city maintain its database of business entities.
- Improve the city’s ability to make timely contact with stakeholders in case of an emergency.
- Better prepare emergency personnel for conditions they may encounter during calls for service (i.e. hazardous materials on-site; special access procedures, etc.).
- Better monitor the distribution of business types across the community.
The initial business license application fee and follow-up annual renewals are set at $25 per year.
