Business Licenses‏

Business License Application

The business license application for a new business should be received thirty (30) days before the business opens. Application should also be received on the specific “due date.” If compliance w/ these time frames is not met, the business may be assessed a late fee.

Business License Renewal Online

Business licenses are required & restrictions are imposed by the Lake Oswego City Code (LOC 20.02) . These were enacted to ensure the public's interest by regulating businesses to make sure they comply w/ applicable laws & ordinances, & conduct themselves in a manner that does not detract from the public health, safety, & welfare. City's Business License brochure.

Dog Licenses

Dog Licenses Application

A dog license must be procured by paying the City a fee, not later than 30 days after the person becomes keeper of the dog, if the following applies: If your residence is within the City of Lake Oswego's boundaries, then State law requires that you obtain a dog license from the City. To ensure all dogs are properly immunized, licensing programs were formed by counties & cities following Oregon Revised Statutes 609.030 to 609.405, which say "every person keeping a dog that has a set of permanent canine teeth or is six months old, whichever comes first, shall procure a license for the dog." Administrative Rules for the State of Oregon Health Division (Chapter 333, Division 19, Section 345) require all dogs six months of age & older to be immunized against rabies. City applications for dog licenses may be obtained at City Hall, or downloaded below & printed.

Passports‏

Passport Service at City Hall

A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity & nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter & leave most foreign countries. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports. U.S. passports can be issued only to U.S. nationals, & appropriate proof of citizenship will be required. The U.S. Dept. of State has authorized the City of Lake Oswego Finance Department as a Passport Acceptance Facility.

Event Permits

To promote success & ensure safety at local events - such as parades, charity walks, festivals, block parties, etc. - the City often requires event organizers to complete a permit:

Block Party

A "Block Party" is a gathering organized by residents of the neighborhood abutting the street to be closed, for their enjoyment. For a successful block party, a Block Party Permit should be obtained.

Special Event Banners Over Roadway

Special event banner signs are temporary banners that are hung over the roadway to advertise upcoming events in or near Lake Oswego. Depending on the location of the banner, their hanging may need to be coordinated w/ the City, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) & Portland General Electric (PGE) .

Special Events

There are numerous community events throughout the year. As a means of encouraging "special events," the City makes its streets & public right-of-way available to civic, private & community groups. To promote the success of special events, ensure the safety of event participants & spectators, & minimize public inconvenience caused by the event, a Special Event Permit should be obtained.

Film / Photo Shoot

Production companies & photographers feature the beauty of Lake Oswego in their work. In some cases, a Film/Photo Shoot Permit is needed. For more information regarding Special Permits, Block Party Permits or Film/Photo Shoot Permits, contact Debbie Russell, Finance Department, at 503-635-0279.

Utility Bills and Payments‏

Utility Bill Email Notification Authorization

Due to utility software upgrade, the E-Statements will not be available until the September/October billings. Those currently signed up for E-Statements will receive a paper statement by mail for the July/August billings, then will automatically return to E-Statements for the September/October billings.

Easy Pay

The City's Finance Department has a secure, safe, & easy way for its utility customers to pay their bills automatically. The program is called EasyPay. Using EasyPay, customers receive the bill, but their bank pays for it out of funds from their savings, checking, Visa, or MasterCard account. Payments are made on the due date listed on the bill. By using the EasyPay program, utility customers will have one less check to write, they can save on the envelopes & stamps, & they can eliminate that extra trip to the post office or City Hall. Customers have plenty of time to review the bill & call the City w/ any questions before the payment is due.

Utility Bill Information
