Business Tax Certificate
To do business in Lompoc, you must have a Business Tax Certificate
(BTC). If your business is located outside the city, you must first
process the forms from the City Clerk's Office in order to conduct
business within the city limits. If your business is located within the
city limits in a commercial area, inquire with the Planning Department
about zoning requirements for your type of business and
planned location. Obtain a pre-connection checklist and Fire Inspection
Application from the Building Division and a Utilities Connection
Application from the Treasury Office. If your business is within your
residence and your home is within the city limits, you will need to
apply for a Home Use Permit (HUP). After you receive an HUP, you
must obtain a BTC from the City Clerk's Office before starting your
business. For tax rates and forms, contact 805-875-8242 or visit
