Frequently asked questions
- Which part of the application needs notarization?

- How do I submit the completed business license application?
- Complete the application and attachments, calculate the occupation tax, and submit the packet to the Community Development Department. Include a lease or owner permission letter if the business owner does not own the property.
- Do I need a notary for the whole application?
- The form’s notary block appears on the Affidavit of Compliance, not on the application’s general certification. The applicant must sign the affidavit under oath before a notary.
- Can I use an online notary for this affidavit?
