From the City of Marengo:

Marengo Business Leaders:

In collaboration with the Marengo-Union Chamber of Commerce, the Mayor and City Council passed Ordinance 25-2-1 amending Chapter 32 of the Marengo Municipal Code regarding business registration. This ordinance states that businesses existing prior to May 1, 2025, will not have any fees associated with registering their business.

If you have already submitted your registration paperwork with the original fee of $50.00, the City will contact you to determine how you want to handle the payment. This should be completed by the end of February.

If you have not submitted your registration paperwork, we would appreciate it if you did so by 5/1/2025. Late fees will be assessed after 8/1/2025.
