2025-26 Business Registration Renewal Fee Schedules
Business Registration Fees for the registration year beginning July 1, 2025 and ending March 31, 2026. The 2025-26 fee covers a nine-month period as part of a transition to a new deadline. Beginning in 2026, Business Registration Renewal will be due on the last day of February. This change is a result of the passage of Proposition M – Business Tax Reform – on November 5, 2024.
