Home business permits are required for all businesses that are proposed to be located in a home, including apartments. A permit is required even if the majority of the work is done away from the home, so long as the address, legal location, and physical location of the business is your residence.

Apply For a Home Business Permit

1. Download and fill out the Home Business Permit Application (If you do not own your residence, you must provide a letter from your landlord or property manager giving you permission to operate a business out of the residence.)
2. Bring the completed application to the Planning Division: 3970 Rocklin Road, Rocklin, CA 95677 (map)
3. Pay a one-time processing fee. Find the latest costs: Fee Schedule
4. Apply for a City of Rocklin Business License. (A massage therapy business also requires a Massage Permit.)

Once approved, a home business permit remains valid for as long as you stay in business, do not violate the home business regulations, and remain at that address. If you move to a different residence within the city limits of Rocklin, the home business permit may be reassigned to the new address for an additional fee.
