YOUR e-mail ADDRESS IS IMPORTANT
We need it to e-mail your Registration Certificate
Codified Ordinance Chapter 1145 has been established by the City of Salem
for the ANNUAL REGISTRATION OF CONTRACTORS AND
SUBCONTRACTORS/1099 EMPLOYEES
Registration is required for all persons, firms or corporations who enter into written or oral contract or agree-
ment to supply goods, services and/or labor within the corporate limits of the City of Salem.
All of your 1099 employees must be registered. Failure to register your “helpers” and/or 1099 employees
could result in your job being stopped.
Individuals, under the age of 18 years, engaged in work or providing services to others, such as lawn care,
snow removal, etc, are exempt.
Registration consists of:
1. Provide information about yourself, firm or corporation.
2. Compliance with City of Salem Income Tax laws.
3. Minimum $300,000.00 Comprehensive General Liability Insurance.
4. Ohio Worker’s Compensation Certificate, if applicable.
5. $50.00 Registration Fee.
Complete the two enclosed registration forms and return them with a copy of your insurance certificate (with
the City of Salem as the certificate holder), compensation certificate (if applicable) and a $50.00 check made
out to: CITY OF SALEM.
The Annual Registration Fee of $50.00 is for the calendar year. Annual renewals are $50.00. Registration is
not assignable or transferable and there are no refunds. THIS IS NOT A LICENSE . The City of Salem is not
responsible for damages resulting from any action of a registered party. The City does not endorse or rec-
ommend any contractor/subcontractor and registered parties are not to imply this in any way.
FAILURE TO REGISTER: Should any person, firm or corporation, either as a contractor, or subcontractor be
found by the Zoning Officer or Income Tax Administrator to be performing work, entering into a written or oral
contract or agreement to supply goods and/or labor without a valid registration, said Zoning Officer or Income
Tax Administrator shall cause all work to cease immediately until all provisions of this ordinance have been
met, and an additional fee equal to three (3) times the original registration fee is paid.
DAILY ENFORCEMENT IS CONDUCTED BY THREE CITY INSPECTORS TO DETERMINE IF COMPLI-
ANCE HAS BEEN MET.
The penalty for failing or refusing to comply with the provisions of this ordinance, and upon conviction, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and could result in a fine of not more than five hindered ($500.00) dol-
lars. Each day such violation exists shall constitute a separate offense.
