Your Business License application must be approved by CDD first before Finance can take your Business License payment and process your Business License application.  At the time that you file the application and pay the required Business License Tax in the Finance Department you will receive a receipt verifying payment. Your City of Mountain View License will be mailed to you after all appropriate City Departments have reviewed your application. This could take up to ten to fifteen (10-15) business days. You should not operate the business until all City requirements are met. 

Once the application(s) are completely filled out and signed, please submit the application(s) by one of the following options:

• By mail:  City of Mountain View, Attn: Finance Dept 2nd Floor - Business License, Post Office Box 7540, Mountain View, CA  94039-7540
  
• By E-mail at BusinessLicense@mountainview.gov
  
• In person by visiting Finance and Administrative Services Department located on the 2nd Floor of the City Hall building, 500 Castro Street, Mountain View, CA  94041.  (At this time, City Hall is closed to the public until further notice)
