Gunnison requires a city business license beginning Jan 1, 2026; city sales tax licensing/collection shifts to Colorado DOR; 2026 grace period through March 31, 2026

The City of Gunnison’s official business licensing portal describes a new requirement for businesses operating within Gunnison city limits to obtain a City of Gunnison Business License starting January 1, 2026 (noting a $20 fee and applicability to various business types). The city also indicates changes to sales tax administration starting January 1, 2026 (city sales tax licensing/collection shifting to state administration) and that vendor fees will no longer be offered beginning in 2026. For vendor onboarding and ongoing compliance, this creates a new/changed local registration requirement (business license) and alters the sales-tax registration/remittance workflow. The city provides a 2026-only grace period allowing businesses to obtain an active 2026 license through March 31, 2026.
