New! Business License Renewals, Deferrals, and Amnesty Program

The Temple City City Council has instituted a business license deferral and amnesty program as part of its COVID-19 economic response program.   The deferral program will defer business license payments for three months.  Annual license payments will be due March 1, 2021.  The amnesty program is designed to provide relief for businesses that have been operating without a license.  During the amnesty period, the City Council has waived the normal penalties for operating without a license.  Businesses wishing to make use of the amnesty program must apply for a license on or before February 28, 2021.  For questions, please see the business license webpage or contact Sandra Scott at (626) 656-7316 sscott@templecity.us.
