Business Licenses
The Town of Trochu has resolved to make Trochu a “business friendly community” in 2016.
Licenses are no longer required, but should you need one for business verification please contact us and we will print one for you free of charge.
Economic Development Policies
We have several policies in place that offer incentives to both new and current businesses.

Development Permits
If you are starting a new business, changing the focus of your business, or renovating, you will most likely need a Development Permit or a Home Occupation Permit from Town Office. And developments that involve structural, electrical, gas, or plumbing work may also require permits and safety inspections from our partner, Palliser Regional Municipal Services.
