2021 Business Licence Extension
Port Coquitlam businesses have been given until March 31 to pay for their 2021 business licences.
The city has extended the deadline – originally Jan. 4, the first business day of the year – to March 31 as part of its ongoing support for businesses during the pandemic.
Make Use of Outdoor Space
The City is helping businesses meet physical distancing and other COVID-19 health protocols by allowing them to use streets, sidewalks, parking lots and other outdoor spaces for uses such as patios, lineups and product displays. The program, extended to October 2021, provides a “one-stop shop” for approvals while waiving application, security and other fees until the end of the year.
