Starting Monday, October 28, 2024, all business and liquor licenses will be submitted through the City of Belton's Community Development online portal eTRAKiT.

This new site will allow users to submit applications, schedule inspections, pay fees, and track internal reviews through their online dashboard. This new system will help streamline the license submission, review, and approval process. Additionally, an improved and expanded online payment system will accompany this new site.

The first step is creating an eTRAKiT account. These instructions will walk you through the process.(PDF, 263KB)

Additional tutorials and instructions for new Belton licenses will be published soon.
