City of Aurora
Business Registration

As the local business community continues to expand, and the effects of COVID-19 places unexpected burdens on our local businesses, the need for highly accurate communication and life safety data has never been more critical. With those priorities in mind, the City of Aurora has developed the Business Registration Program designed to provide the city with key data points which will enable city staff to quickly and accurately reach out to business owners and operators with new support resources, and to respond effectively to life safety situations that may arise.
