Renewal Information

Renewal cover letters are emailed directly to the licensees at the business email address used in the Customer Self-Service Portal and cannot be found on this webpage. Each renewal letter is personalized with your license Expiration Date, Renewal Due Date, and Other City Conditions that need to be addressed to be compliant. If licensee does not timely file their renewal at least 45 days prior to the expiration date, they must also pay a $5,000 late filing fee. Renewals filed after the license expiration date will not be accepted and will require closure and a new license application will need to be filed.

Please note that it is the responsibility of the licensee to have contacted, via the online scheduling tool, to have their facility re-inspected to be approved by each department at the time of renewal. Please note that you must request inspections within one week - 7 calendar days after you receive your city renewal information.
