Re: City of Roswell Home Occupation Business License Registration
Letter of Intent
Dear Business Owner:
The Business License Department has implemented a procedure for all Home Occupation
Business License Registration renewals and new businesses. This procedure consists of attaching
a letter of intent every year that you renew your business. This letter can be the same letter every
year, but must have the current year’s date. Please refer to the sample below as a guide in
determining the contents of the letter, however please be specific as to what your business does.
To Whom it May Concern;
My business is* “Mary’s Typing Service” with which I run a home office at the address of 123 ABC
Street, Roswell, NM. My service consists of typing resumes, term papers, documents, etc.. This
business services clients through phone calls, e-mail and mail. Any client contact is done strictly
on a pick-up and delivery basis at their location. No clients come to my home office/residence
location to conduct business. I have no outside storage or signs that indicate a business being
operated at my home.
I understand that the granting and continuance of this license registration is dependent upon me
abiding by all the regulations found in the Roswell Amended Zoning Ordinance # 10-02, Home
Occupation
Thank you,
*fictitious business name used for example purposes only.
I understand that this addition to your renewal may pose an inconvenience for some businesses,
however, it is a necessity due to some past misunderstandings by home occupation business
owners. IF YOU DO NOT TURN IN A LETTER OF INTENT WITH YOUR RENEWAL
OR NEW APPLICATION, IT WILL PROLONG ISSUANCE OF YOUR LICENSE
REGISTRATION. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at
421 N. Richardson Ave., Code Enforcement Department, or at (575) 637-6208.
Thank you for your cooperation,

It is time to renew your business license registration. To conduct business in Roswell, the City Zoning Ordinances

Address label here
Please return the completed application with all information requested and the $35.00 application fee enclosed
(See Other Side). If your profession requires State of New Mexico Certification, you are required to provide a copy.
Failure to complete the application in its entirety and add letter of intent will result in the application being returned to
you for completion. This could result in a possible surcharge. Please note that this application is an archival file and
must be filled out each year of renewal.
As a reminder, please be aware that there is a staggered business registration period by quarter. The renewal dates
are on the last day of the months of March, June, September, and December (of every year).
(a) Those businesses whose first letter (exclusive of a, an & the) starts with A through C, numbers,
computer codes, etc. license is due on March 31.
(b) Those businesses whose first letter (exclusive of a, an & the) starts with D through K is due on June 30.

(e) If the last day of the month falls on a weekend or a holiday recognized by the City of Roswell, the due
date will be the next working day following that weekend or holiday.
If any person fails to obtain the appropriate registration or license pursuant to the terms of this ordinance, or fails to renew such
registration or license before the expiration date of the month of renewal, such person shall pay a surcharge in the amount of
twenty percent (20%) of the license or registration fee for each month after the payment is late. A grace period (in which no
late fee will be due and payable) of fourteen (14) calendar days following the last day of the month the license is to be renewed,
is allowed. In no event shall the total surcharge exceed the cost of the registration or license fee. Further steps to ensure
proper registration may include Municipal Court Proceedings.
If you are no longer doing business, please call my office so I can update your file, which could save your
business any accumulated surcharges.
