To obtain an Occupational License, you must complete the Occupational License Tax Application, and submit it to the City of Walker, along with a check made payable to the City of Walker for $50.00 or $25.00 if business opens after July 1. You will be issued a temporary Occupational License that is valid for 40 days.
