Contractor License Renewal

All 2022 City of Vestavia Hills Contractor Business Licenses will be processed online through Citizen Services. Registration and step-by-step renewal instructions are available below. (Click here to download a PDF of these instructions.) Be sure to have any State Cards and your driver license on hand prior to beginning the renewal process, as they will be required to renew your 2022 City of Vestavia Hills Business License through Citizen Services.

Please note that your Contractors Business License Number will change. You will be assigned a new Business License number and, after renewing for 2022, you will no longer utilize the license number referenced in your renewal notice.
