How to file the City of Sacramento business tax certificate (Business Operations Tax) (Sacramento)

Every business operating in the City of Sacramento pays this yearly tax; the city issues no separate business license. Apply online, by email to finance@cityofsacramento.org, by mail or in person, and pay when you apply. The city sends the application to Community Development to confirm the zoning, then mails the certificate.
