Each License Certificate expires on December 31 of each year, and is renewed January 1 of the following year.

If you are operating the business from your home in the city limits of Lemoore, you must first obtain a Home Occupation Permit. You may contact the Planning Department at (559) 924-6744 ext 740.

Massage, Solicitors, Peddlers, Fortuneteller, Card Room, Carnival Rides, Firework Stand, and any other varied type of business that has never had a business within the City of Lemoore is required to pay a one time Background Check Fee.
