How to Apply for a California Seller's Permit
A seller’s permit allows you to collect sales tax from customers and report those amounts to the state on a regular reporting period (either monthly, quarterly, or annual). There is no charge for a seller’s permit, but security deposits are sometimes required.
When providing your permit to the Business License Division, please check the following:
• The name on the permit must match the business license applicant/entity
• The address on the permit must be the same as the business site address in Long Beach
