Business Licenses
A business license is required if you want to
do business in the City. This Web page contains links to the sections of
Chapter 19 of the Monterey City Code that govern
the issuance of business licenses in the City, including the current business license tax
rates.
We also feature a
Business License Tax Calculator. This easy to use calculator is
provided for those who would like assistance in computing their City of
Monterey Business License Tax. In addition, the calculator will
compute the promotion fee that may be payable if your business is located
in one of the City's promotion districts.
Business license applications for
a new business are available at the Revenue Office in Room 4 at City
Hall located at the corner of Madison and Pacific Streets. Or, download a copy by clicking
on business license application (posted
in Adobe Acrobat PDF format).

All completed business license applications must be
returned and all business license taxes paid to the Revenue Office. At the time the
business license application is completed and the required tax paid, you will receive a
receipt. The final business license will be mailed after all appropriate City Departments
have reviewed and approved the application. You should not operate the business until all
City requirements are met.
Depending on the type of business, the location, and
whether alterations are planned for the building or property, other
permits and fees may
be required. To assure that you meet all City requirements, check with the
Community Development Department.
Additional state and county requirements may apply to your business. Click on starting a business in Monterey for

Health Permits
Information regarding the requirements for obtaining a health permit within the City is
also provided here. Please note that the City of Monterey does not
issue health permits. The Environmental Health Division of the
County of Monterey Department of Health is responsible for the issuance of these permits. The information is
included in this Web site as a courtesy to those who may be considering
starting a business in Monterey that may require the issuance of a health
permit.
