Steps in Securing a Mayor’s Permit
The step-by-step process for procuring a Mayor’s Permit depends on the local regulations and
ordinances of the city/municipality where your business is located. But the general process
usually involves the following steps:
1. Secure the initial requirements:
Accomplished Application Form
SEC/DTI/CDA Certificate of Registration
2. Secure permits and clearances – each permit can only be obtained when the
aforementioned requirements in step 1 are fulfilled. Each permit/clearance is usually obtained
from designated offices inside the City/Municipal Hall. The specific permits/clearances are as
follows:
Barangay Business Clearance
Certificate of Occupancy
Locational/Zoning Clearance
3. File your Application Form along with the other requirements to the Bureau of Permits
(BP)/Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO) at the City/Municipal Hall.
4. Procure a Community Tax Certificate/Cedula from the City Treasurer’s Office.
5. An assessor will assess your application fees and you are required to have the assessment
(Official Billing Assessment) validated by a BP/BPLO officer.
6. Submit your application requirements, along with the Official Billing Assessment, to the
designated office.
7. Pay the necessary payment fees for the permits and licenses to the Cashier’s Office.
8. Obtain a Fire Safety Inspection Permit from the designated Fire Department by presenting
your paid application requirements.
9. Obtain a Temporary Sanitary Permit from the designated Sanitary Department by
presenting your paid application requirements. Depending on the local health regulations or
ordinances of the city/municipality, the actual permit may only be issued after completion of
mandatory company office inspections and/or health tests for employees.

Sanitary Permit, to the designated BP/BPLO office.
