Brigham City posts video walkthrough for business license applications on new Connect portal

A presenter in a Brigham City instructional video walked business owners through the city’s new Connect portal and the steps to apply for or renew a business license.

“This video is for businesses who are either renewing their business license or submitting an application for a new license,” the presenter said, opening the walkthrough and directing viewers to create a Connect account before beginning the application.

The presenter said all Brigham City business licenses are now managed through the Connect portal and must be accessed at connect.bcutah.org or via the city website under Business and Development > Online permits and applications. Applicants must log in with the username and password created during account setup.

Applicants should select Business Licenses in the portal, choose the type of license that applies, and have required documents ready. The presenter emphasized preparation: enter your NAICS code before starting and gather any additional forms required by your license type.

“You won’t be able to save this application and return to it later,” the presenter said, warning applicants that the form must be completed in a single session. On the parcel screen, users select the business location by typing an address into the search bar or scrolling to the correct parcel.

For renewals, the presenter explained, users can select the business already associated with their Connect account and import any information the city has on file to review and correct. For new applications, applicants must type the business name and fill all required fields.

When the application reaches the upload screen, applicants can attach required documents; if no additional forms are required the presenter instructed users to click Next, sign the application electronically, and click Finish. After submission, the portal sends an email confirmation.

City staff will review submitted applications, and applicants can track progress and message staff via the portal discussion function. “When the license application has been reviewed, which can take up to 14 business days, you will receive an invoice,” the presenter said.

Payment can be made online through the Connect portal or in person at City Hall; once payment is completed the presenter said the applicant will receive the business license.

The video also points viewers to a separate demonstration titled “create a connect user account” for instructions on making a portal account before beginning the license application.
