IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please notify the Business License Office of any changes to the business, including business name, location, owners, partners, business type or
activity. If the business license is not updated accordingly, it may no longer be valid and the business owner may then be liable for penalties and
administrative citations.
If the business moves to another commercial location, a Certificate of Occupancy for the new location must be applied for with the Planning
Department. Call (714) 536-5271 for application.
As an applicant for a business license, if a Social Security number has been issued to you, then it is required that you provide your Social Security
number as part of the application. Pursuant to Section 405(c)(2)(C)(i) of Title 42 of the United States Code, the City is permitted to require disclosure
of the Social Security number for tax purposes. Disclosure of this information is mandatory. However, while disclosure is required in order for the
City to properly administer the business license tax program, the Social Security number is not public record, and will not be disclosed to any
members of the public.
Under federal and state law, compliance with disability access laws is a serious and significant responsibility that applies to all California building owners and tenants
