About this office

Městský úřad Kadaň – obecní živnostenský úřad — a municipal Trade Licensing Office (seat: Kadaň) — 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). An alternative to travelling to the office is an electronic trade notification (data box (datová schránka), Citizen Portal (Portál občana)) — it is 200 Kč cheaper than filing here in person.

How to register your trade here

  1. When to go in person: You can visit in person: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
  2. Fee: The fee for your first trade registration is 1,000 Kč at the counter, or 800 Kč for an electronic filing.
  3. Or skip the trip: You can also file electronically via a data box (datová schránka) or the Portál občana — www.rzp.gov.cz
  4. What happens next: If your notification meets the requirements, your licence takes effect on the day you file, and you will get the register extract within 5 working days. Full details are in the article Trade registration step by step.

Registering a trade — Ústecký kraj

Ústecký kraj serves the trade licensing agenda through 16 municipal Trade Licensing Offices; the regional office is based in Ústí nad Labem. 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: Bílina, Chomutov, Děčín, Kadaň, Litoměřice, Litvínov, Louny, Lovosice, Most, Podbořany, Roudnice nad Labem, Rumburk, Teplice, Varnsdorf, Ústí nad Labem, Žatec. 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 Ústeckého kraje – Odbor správních činností a krajský živnostenský úřad (seat: Ústí nad Labem). 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.
