Buying a business in Moncton: what is different here
Licensing, inspection and land-use rules are municipal, so they change at the city limits — these are the ones that attach to a business in Moncton, with the authority’s own page for each.
Licensed by category, not in general
Moncton issues no general business licence — it licenses specific activities instead, and City of Moncton lists “Taxi Licence”, “Mobile Home Licence”, “Mobile Vending Licence”, “Pawnbroker Licence” and 2 more. If the business you are buying falls under one of them, confirm which licence the seller actually holds and whether it is current: it is issued to the operator, so it does not transfer with the sale, and reapplying can surface conditions the previous owner had already satisfied.
City of Moncton →If it serves food, the inspection history is public
New Brunswick Public Health — Regional Health Protection inspects food premises in Moncton and publishes the results as Food Premises Inspection Results. For a restaurant, café or food retailer that is diligence you can do before making an offer and without the seller's cooperation — a run of repeat infractions is both a remediation cost and, in a business whose customers can read the same record, a revenue problem.
New Brunswick Public Health — Regional Health Protection →Confirming the use is actually permitted
A business operating today is not proof the use is legally permitted — non-conforming uses, expired variances and conditions attached to a previous owner all survive a sale quietly. In Moncton that is confirmed before closing rather than after, through the office linked below.
City of Moncton — Planning and Development Department →General information, not legal or tax advice — rules change and the authorities above are the current source. Deavo is a listings platform, not a brokerage.
