Business Licenses

1. For business license renewals that expire on June 30th, we will be mailing your renewal on July 6,.  Don’t worry, we are extending the due date to September 1.  The renewal notice will have instructions for renewing online.
2. For a new business license, complete the application and email it to ebizlicense@ci.salinas.ca.us to start the process.
3. For changing your business license information, please email ebizlicense@ci.salinas.ca.us

Before an application can be submitted to ebizlicense@ci.salinas.ca.us, you MUST contact and submit your completed application to Planning:  currplanwebmail@ci.salinas.ca.us for zoning or Home Occupancy Permit (HOP) (for business conducted out of your residential home) approval/signoff.

Parking Permits

1. For Parking Permits (Downtown), you can order parking permits electronically for Lot 5, 8, and 12 and for the Salinas St. Garage through email.  Please complete the fillable PDF form, email it to eParking@ci.salinas.ca.us and we will mail you your permits.
2. For Residential Preferential parking, if you are a new resident and are having trouble registering, it is most likely because the old resident has not canceled, so we need to make the change for you.  Please email your address and proof you live at the new address to eparking@ci.salinas.ca.us
