Starting a business in Amory?
You’ll need to get your power turned on. How do you do that?
First: Visit the Planning and Zoning Department at City Hall (behind Frisco Park) 109 South Front Street or call 662-256-3517 and choose option for Planning and Zoning.
Next: Planning and Zoning will make sure your business is zoned properly. GUESS WHAT? This is also where you get permits for signs for your new business!
Next: You’ll get a Clearance Form (signed by the P&Z office) and you will walk across the hall to visit the City of Amory City Clerk’s office where you will get a business license. You’ll have to have a business license (state law) to get the form signed.
Next: You will then take the signed form to the Amory Utilities Department located at the end of the next block (north). This is where you will get your temporary power or power if your business is ready to go!
Remember: To get your power turned on or changed, you must have a signed clearance form from the Planning and Zoning Department and City Clerk’s office.
To obtain a license for a business a person must first obtain a clearance form from the Planning & Zoning Office located in City Hall at 109 S Front Street. Call 662-256-3517 for more information.
