Any person providing a service, product or trade in the city limits of Roseburg, Oregon need to have a business license issued by the City Recorder. Definition from the Roseburg Municipal Code is: "Merchant" means a person: 1. Whose business is dealing in goods or services; 2. Who by occupation claims to have knowledge or skill peculiar to the practices or the goods or services involved in the transaction of business; or to whom such knowledge or skill may be attributed by the employment of an agent or broker or other intermediary who claims to have such knowledge or skill; or 3. Who is an itinerant vendor or peddler going from place to place, house to house, or who locates on private property of another business with a permanent location within the City, who, as principal or agent of another sells or offers to sell, goods, wares, merchandise or services, by sample or by catalog, to persons who are not merchants. "Owner" means any person having ownership interest in a business, including an owner, partner, associate or lessee, but not including a shareholder in a publicly owned corporation. Except for a business or merchant receiving a license or permit under the other Chapters in Title 9, no person shall engage in business or be a merchant within the City without first obtaining a business registration certificate from the City Recorder.
