Requirements and fees
The city of Bridgeport requires a license for all businesses located within city limits, or conducting business within city limits. If you are not sure if you will do business within the city limits, contact the city directly before you apply.
Businesses qualify for the nonprofit endorsement if they are registered with the Office of the Secretary of State as a nonprofit corporation, or by submitting a copy of their 501(c) tax exemption letter issued by the IRS.
