WHO NEEDS A USE PERMIT?

Contractors and subcontractors performing work in the city, but are not located in the City, are NOT required to obtain a Use Permit or business license if providing services in the City of Industry.

Chapter 17.44 of the Industry Municipal Code requires that any person, corporation or other business establishment who wishes to conduct a business within the City of Industry must first secure a Use Permit.

A separate permit is required for each branch or location of business. Use Permits are not transferable. A new permit must be obtained when there is a change of ownership or a change of the business name. BEFORE YOU APPLY...
