Operators
of all businesses, trades, professions and occupations are
required to obtain a business license from the City.
Before signing a lease for a commercial or manufacturing
unit, it is highly recommended that you verify with City Staff
to see if your business is permitted or conditionally permitted
at the location. Once the
location has been approved by City Staff, a prospective business
owner or operator may submit a business license application to
the City. Commercial licenses are $75
annually, plus a $320 processing fee (one-time); Contractor licenses are $86,
plus a $28 processing fee (one-time); and Home Occupation
licenses are $64 per year, plus a $135 processing fee (one-time). Specialty business licenses vary by
type of business, some require a $521 processing fee (one-time)
and an annual $87 Sheriff background check. As of July 1, 2011, business license fees are
no longer pro-rated. For more information, please contact
Jennifer at (626) 285-2171 or you can email
her at
