New Rochelle Reminds Retail Businesses to Register with the City

Businesses in New Rochelle need to register or renew their registration in the city’s Retail Business Registration Program.

This year’s renewal deadline is Jan. 31, 2016, according to city officials.

In a effort to provide support to local retail businesses, the city established the program last year, requiring all businesses to register with the city and annually renew.

There is no fee to register. However, failure to do so could result in a penalty of $50 per month, up to a maximum of $350.

Businesses can sign up online—in English or Spanish—at www.newrochelleny.com/business.

The information collected will help in the creation of a comprehensive business directory and will be used to share emergency alerts, along with notification of business-related events and opportunities.
