Get Legal – Get Licensed

Sacramento County issues business licenses to regulate businesses operating in the unincorporated area of the county to promote improved enforcement of ordinances.  The license is not a business tax and is not based on business revenue. 

There are several types of business license; some businesses may be exempt from the General Business License, others may require both a General Business License and a Special Business License.  Operating a business without the required Sacramento County Business License(s) is a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $500.00 and six (6) months in jail.

The county has a new, expanded online business license process.  This allows you to track your application’s progress and helps the county answer your questions.  You can also search whether a business name has been registered and who owns the business.
