About this office

Městský úřad Bučovice – Odbor správních agend, úsek obecní živnostenský úřad — a municipal Trade Licensing Office (seat: Bučovice) — is one of the 227 offices in Czechia where a trade notification can be filed in person. For an in-person visit, use the office hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (exact time ranges differ by day — see the table above). Do you want to avoid travelling? A trade licence can also be notified electronically — via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) for 800 Kč instead of 1,000 Kč for an in-person filing.

Registering a trade — Jihomoravský kraj

Jihomoravský kraj is among the larger regions: 21 municipal Trade Licensing Offices, with the regional office forming part of Krajský úřad Jihomoravského kraje in Brno. 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: Blansko, Boskovice, Brno, Bučovice, Břeclav, Hodonín, Hustopeče, Ivančice, Kuřim, Kyjov, Mikulov, Moravský Krumlov, Pohořelice, Rosice, Slavkov u Brna, Tišnov, Veselí nad Moravou, Vyškov, Znojmo, Židlochovice. 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. You may also choose an office outside your place of permanent residence — for example closer to work or on your route — all municipal Trade Licensing Offices have the same authority to accept a notification. 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 Jihomoravského kraje – odbor správní a Krajský živnostenský úřad (seat: Brno). 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. Anyone who does not want to travel can also notify a trade licence electronically — via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) for 800 Kč (an in-person filing at an office costs 1,000 Kč).
