A business has either physical or economic nexus. 

• Physical Nexus – If you are renewing your business license for 2023 and meet the definition of a business with physical nexus, you should renew your business license for 2023 as you normally do. If you renew by filing online, please use e-tax. If you are mailing your business license renewal form to the City of Wheat Ridge, please include a payment of $20 with your account number made payable to The City of Wheat Ridge.
• Economic Nexus - If you are renewing your business license for 2023 and meet the definition of a business with economic nexus, you should renew your business license for 2023 as you normally do. Please renew by filling out the Business License Renewal form, and please complete the remote seller form.
