Amending a permit
Business Permits expire annually on December 31. You may renew your business permit from January 1 to January 20 of the following year. Make sure to plan your renewal early to avoid long lines and penalties if you miss the payment deadlines.
Make sure you submit the following:
- BPLO Requirements
- Application form
- Insurance Policy or official receipt of Comprehensive General Liability (CGL)
- Recent Official Receipt for Fire Safety Insurance Certificate
- Recent Community Tax Certificate (CEDULA)
- Certificate of Good Standing (for cooperatives)
Barangay Clearances are now integrated and processed by the BPLO. You do not need to secure this separately from the barangay. The barangay fees shall be included in the tax/bill assessment.
You no longer need to notarize your application.
