The New
Business Tax Affidavit form (PDF) and supplemental Santa
Clara Fire Department Permit Fee Assessment Form requires Adobe
Acrobat Reader, which may be downloaded for free.
The forms may be printed, filled out, and mailed or delivered
to the Municipal Services Division at the address listed above.
The completed forms must be accompanied by a check for full
payment of the required fees, as computed from the information
you have supplied on the New Business Tax Affidavit.
New businesses: The completed and signed forms and fee payment
must be received no later than thirty (30) calendar days after
commencing business operations in Santa Clara, or a late penalty
equal to 100 percent (100%) of the total fees due will be assessed.
Along with the completed and signed Application and payment,
individuals need to provide us with a copy of their "Fictitious
Business Name" statement, Articles of Incorporation if
they are a Coporation, Partnership or Limited Liability Corp,
and sellers permit (if required) before we can process their
application and issue them a City of Santa Clara Business License.
Restaurants also need to provide a statement from the Department
of Health. Incomplete or unsigned forms and/or incorrect fee
payments will be returned, and may result in a late penalty.
If you need assistance in computing the total required fees,
contact the Municipal Services Division for assistance.
Business Certificate (License) Renewals: It is the responsibility
of each business to renew their Business Certificate before
it expires. However, as a reminder, a renewal application will
be mailed to the business prior to the expiration date. If this
tax is not paid before the expiration date, a penalty equal
to 100 percent (100%) of the total tax will be assessed.
Separate forms must be completed for each location and for each
separate type of business at the same location.
If your organization or corporation has been granted exemption
from taxes, please include proof as provided by the Internal
Revenue Service (Federal Form 501 C).
Businesses operating out of the home are required to come into
City Hall for Planning Department approval; they are located
in the Permit Center, across the hall from the Municipal Services
Division. |
