Requirements for Applying for a Mayor’s Permit

These are the usual requirements in applying for a Mayor’s Business Permit:

  1. Barangay Clearance
  2. DTI Business Name Certificate (Single Proprietor)
  3. Certificate of SEC Registration / Articles of Incorporation (for Corporation) / Articles of Partnership  (for Partnership)
  4. Public Liability Insurance (for Restaurants, Cinemas, Malls, etc.)
  5. Authorization Letter of owner with ID
  6. Lease Contract / Tax Declaration
  7. SSS (Certification / Clearance)
  8. CTC (Community Tax Certificate-CEDULA)

Steps in Applying for a Mayor’s Permit

Step 1: Application and Submission of Requirements

First step is to proceed to the business permit and licensing office (BPLO) in your city. There you will be given an application form which you need to fill out and submit for verification.

Step 2: City Engineering Office

Proceed to the engineering department to secure the assessment for building fee. You need to submit your building and occupancy permit. They will also ask you for a sketch of your business location and your building area in square meters.

Step 3: Electrical Department

Proceed to the electrical department to get a certificate of electrical inspection. One of the engineers may come and visit your place to check the area. If there is no problem, they will approve your application and you will be given a certificate. You will pay the inspection fee at the city treasurer in your city hall.

Step 4: Sanitary Office

You will then proceed to the health and sanitary office to secure a health and sanitary permit. Some cities require drug tests and x-rays for all the employees. Some require attendance in a seminar.

Step 5: Bureau of Fire Protection

Next stop is at the Bureau of Fire Protection to secure a fire permit. All business establishments are required to have a fire extinguisher and the number of extinguishers depends on the floor area of the establishment. The BFP needs to inspect your place before they sign your papers. Some LGU’s do not conduct inspection but requires photos of the establishment. The BFP also will not sign your documents without the zoning clearance.

Step 6: Zoning Clearance

The office of the municipal planning and development coordinator releases the zoning clearance. Payment will depend on the project type and cost. You will be asked to submit more requirements. Your documents will be assessed and verified. A zoning inspector will inspect your place to verify conformity with existing ordinance. If there is no problem with your application, your clearance will be released after your payment.

Step 7: Return to the Bureau of Fire Protection

The BFP will now sign your fire permit once you have a zoning clearance.

Step 8: Revisit the BPLO

Revisit the BPLO to show that you have already completed the process. They may verify it to ensure that everything is in order and you will be asked to pay the following:

  • Your Business (Contractor/Services/Wholesaler/Retailer)
  • Mayor’s Permit Fee
  • Sanitary Fee
  • Service Fee
  • Local Fire Inspection Fee
  • Business Plate

Your business plate will be released within 1-3 days.

How to Register Your Business with DTI

In order for a business to operate without hassles in the country, the owner must register his/her business to the proper government agency. This is an important measure in preventing legal problems as you begin your business operation.

Going to the Proper Government Agency

The first step in getting a certificate of registration for your business name is going to the proper agency. There are different government agencies where you can register your business depending on its structure.

  • Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – for sole proprietorship
  • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) – for partnerships or corporations
  • Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) – for cooperatives

For this article, we are going to discuss DTI business registration for sole proprietors.

Business Name Approval

  • To be used for illegal, offensive, and scandalous operations. Identical or closely resembles other business names already registered.
  • Composed purely of generic words.
