Applying For A Business License
The issuance of a Business License is not necessarily the only permit,
license, certificate and entitlement for use required by the city's ordinance
and other laws. For example, you may be required to obtain a building permit,
certificate of occupancy or use permit. You are responsible for ensuring
that all necessary permits, licenses, certificates and entitlements have
been obtained. For more information, contact the Building Department at
209-599-2613.
