Home Occupation Permit
Show All Answers
1.
Why is the City of Poway now requiring Home Occupation Permits to renew every other year?
Currently the city’s database is voluminous and out of date. This will allow for a current database. Also, because home occupation permits are restricted to businesses that are appropriate in residential settings, the permit renewal process requires updated business information and allows the city to ensure that the business is conforming.
2.
What is the cost to apply for a home occupation permit, and can I get a refund?
The initial cost to apply is $115, which is good for 2 years. The renewal is $20 every other year. This is not a tax but a flat fee that is calculated to recover the costs incurred to process the application only. Once the application process has started, no refunds are allowed.
3.
If I currently have a home occupation permit, how long do I have to renew?
Letters will be mailed out to all home occupation permit holders currently in our database. Current permit holders will have 2 years before a renewal is required.
4.
Do I need a business certificate as well as a home occupation permit?
No, home occupation permit holders will not be required to additionally register their businesses because the permit process requires a separate, equally thorough review.
