Registering a trade — Kraj Vysočina

Kraj Vysočina has 15 municipal Trade Licensing Offices distributed across the region; the regional office is based in Jihlava. 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: Bystřice nad Pernštejnem, Chotěboř, Havlíčkův Brod, Humpolec, Jihlava, Moravské Budějovice, Nové Město na Moravě, Náměšť nad Oslavou, Pacov, Pelhřimov, Světlá nad Sázavou, Telč, Třebíč, Velké Meziříčí, Žďár nad Sázavou. 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 Kraje Vysočina – Oddělení právní a krajského živnostenského úřadu (seat: Jihlava). 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.
