Chino Hills permits and business licenses can overlap
Chino Hills has separate permit, business license, home occupation, and land use clearance paths that can overlap when a business operates from a home or commercial location.
Chino Hills business and permit questions can overlap, especially for home businesses and commercial locations. The city has a business license path, a home occupation path, and permit paths for common local activities.
For a home business, Chino Hills requires a home occupation permit along with the business license. For a commercial business, a land use clearance fee may apply. That means the address and type of business matter before the license is finished.
The permit page also covers common permits such as garage sales, filming, and home occupation. Building or planning questions may be separate from the business license paperwork.
Before applying, gather the address, business activity, owner contact, whether the work is home-based or commercial, and whether customers, employees, signs, deliveries, storage, or building changes are part of the plan.
