Online registration guide In-person processAbout this office
České Budějovice — Magistrát města České Budějovice – obecní živnostenský úřad: a municipal Trade Licensing Office where you can file a trade notification in person; it is one of 227 such offices in the Czech Republic. For an in-person visit, use the office hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, always 08:00–17:00. Anyone who does not want to travel can notify a trade licence online via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) for 800 Kč. The same city also hosts another Trade Licensing Office — a separate office with its own territorial scope, not a duplicate of this one.
How to register your trade here
- When to go in person: You can visit in person: Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
- Fee: The fee for your first trade registration is 1,000 Kč at the counter, or 800 Kč for an electronic filing.

Registering a trade — Jihočeský kraj
Jihočeský kraj covers the trade licensing agenda through 17 municipal Trade Licensing Offices, distributed from České Budějovice to the border areas in the south. Municipal Trade Licensing Offices are established by law only at municipalities with extended powers (ORP) — not at every town hall, but at selected offices that also handle the agenda for surrounding municipalities in their administrative district. In this region, they are based specifically in these cities: Blatná, Dačice, Jindřichův Hradec, Kaplice, Milevsko, Prachatice, Písek, Soběslav, Strakonice, Trhové Sviny, Tábor, Týn nad Vltavou, Třeboň, Vimperk, Vodňany, České Budějovice, Český Krumlov. Any of these offices can accept a trade notification regardless of where in the region (or outside it) you have permanent residence or registered seat (sídlo) — the law sets no local competence based on residence. Which municipal office in the region you choose is entirely up to you — all have the same authority to accept a notification regardless of your permanent residence. Apart from an in-person visit, any Czech POINT contact point can also accept the filing and forward it to the competent Trade Licensing Office under § 72 of the Trade Licensing Act. Above the municipal offices stands the regional Trade Licensing Office — in this region it is Krajský úřad Jihočeského kraje – Odbor právní a krajský živnostenský úřad (seat: České Budějovice). It is an appeal and methodological authority: it decides appeals against municipal office decisions and harmonises their practice, but it does not accept trade notifications themselves — for those, you turn to the municipal offices listed above. Travelling to an office can be replaced by an electronic filing via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) — it is 200 Kč cheaper (800 Kč instead of 1,000 Kč).
