A business license is required for most businesses that are either physically located in the City of La Quinta or conduct business in the City. In addition, businesses that operate from their personal residence are required to apply for a Home Occupation Business Permit, which is issued through the Code Compliance Division of the Building and Safety Department.
Please note that applications will only be processed when and if all requirements have been completed. Incomplete applications will be returned and will not be processed. Please call the Finance Department at (760) 777-7150 if you have any questions.
