About this office

Litomyšl — Městský úřad Litomyšl – Odbor živnostenského úřadu: 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, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (exact time ranges differ by day — see the table above), with a lunch break in the schedule. 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 — Pardubický kraj

Pardubický kraj has 15 municipal Trade Licensing Offices established for the trade licensing agenda, with the regional office above them in Pardubice. 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: Chrudim, Hlinsko, Holice, Králíky, Lanškroun, Litomyšl, Moravská Třebová, Pardubice, Polička, Přelouč, Svitavy, Vysoké Mýto, Ústí nad Orlicí, Česká Třebová, Žamberk. 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 Pardubického kraje – Odbor organizační a právní a krajský živnostenský úřad, oddělení živnostenského podnikání (seat: Pardubice). 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. Electronic notification via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) is cheaper than filing in person — 800 Kč instead of 1,000 Kč — and does not require visiting any office in the region.
