I want to open a business in the City or I am selling my business to another person. What do I need to do?
Any new business, and any change in the use, ownership, or occupancy of an existing business requires a new occupancy certificate and may require a business license. Applications are available at the Community Development Department and the Clerk's office respectively. The property is inspected by the Building Department and the Fire Marshal and any deficiencies must be corrected prior to the certificate being issued. Any business engaged in retail or service activities must also obtain a business license from the City Clerk.
