Pay Your Bill/Renew Your Business License
Online
You can pay or renew online using the e-account number found on your bill. The City accepts Visa, Mastercard, Debit, and E-checks. Using this option will incur a fee charged by the City's third party vendor.
The e-account number can be found at the bottom of your bill. 
NOTE: If any information printed on your renewal bill is incorrect, you must indicate any changes before renewing your bill by contacting the Business License Division.
Note: If you are experiencing difficulty accessing the third-party payment application, it may be that your browser is unsupported. We recommend: Version 10 or greater of Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome or Firefox. Thank you.
Phone
You can pay or renew by phone using Visa, Mastercard, Debit, or checking account information by calling (562) 570-6211 and press option 1.
Payments via phone will be accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please be sure to have your business license account number available.
If you choose the option to mail in your payment, make your check or money order payable to the City of Long Beach along with the billing stub found on the bottom of your bill. Mail all payments to City of Long Beach, PO Box 630, Long Beach, CA 90842. For your own protection, do not send cash by mail.
Please be sure to have your payment postmarked by the United States Post Office on or before your delinquent date as listed on the bottom right corner of your bill. Failure to meet this deadline will result in additional penalties due.
