A Major Milestone for Caye Caulker

Today marks an important step forward for our community with the official signing of the contract to construct a brand-new Police Station for Caye Caulker.

The project, valued at BZ$1.54 million, is being funded through CABEI. Construction is expected to commence in early March and is projected to be completed within approximately 12 months.

This new facility will significantly strengthen the capacity of the police department and greatly enhance public safety and security for residents and visitors alike — a true gain for the entire island community.

Special thanks and recognition to: Minister Martinez, Ministry of Economic Development
Hon. Oscar Mira, Minister of Home Affairs
Former Minister of Home Affairs, Kareem Musa, who initiated the negotiations during his tenure

Your leadership and commitment have helped bring this critical project to fruition.

Looking ahead, the next major project in line is the construction of a new Government High School. This initiative aims to address long-standing safety concerns caused by the deteriorating condition of the current building, which has been heavily impacted by climate-related wear over time. The new school will greatly enhance the quality, safety, and resilience of educational infrastructure for our youth.

Progress is happening. Caye Caulker continues to move forward ; stronger, safer, and more prepared for the future.

PRESS RELEASE

Deferment of the Application of Trade License Act No. 19 Of 2024

Belmopan, December 23, 2025.

The public, in particular members of the business community, is hereby advised that the Trade License Act, No. 19 of 2024, has not yet come into force. Under this Act, a new trade licensing regime is to be established in urban areas and, for the first time, in rural areas.

As the new Act has not come into force for the trade licensing year 2026, ONLY businesses in towns and cities across Belize are eligible for the assessment of a trade license fee.

Businesses in rural areas, including Caye Caulker, are therefore advised that, until the new law comes into force, no trade license fee is payable.

Those businesses in the rural areas, including Caye Caulker, are further advised that application fees paid in anticipation of the roll-out of the new law for 2026 shall remain credited to those applicants.

This deferment of the application of the new Act has become necessary for the Government to satisfy and complete all parliamentary obligations before the new Act can come into force. As such, the Trade License Act, Chapter 66 of the Laws of Belize, Revised Edition 2020, remains the applicable legislation for trade licensing in Belize.

Affected business applicants, particularly from the rural sector, may contact the Ministry of Rural Transformation for further information via telephone number 670-2643 or by email at [email protected].
