Special Notice: Old Town Initiatives Fee Waiver

As a reminder, businesses located within the Old Town Initiatives area may qualify for a fee waiver on their business license fee through February 28, 2026. Check the Old Town Initiatives Map to see if you qualify.

Eligibility Guidelines:

• Businesses in the Old Town Initiatives area may qualify. Select “Old Town Initiatives – Fee Waiver” before checkout.
• Outside the Area? Fees must be paid. Incorrect fee waiver selection delays processing, and fees will still be required.
• If your business license expires on or before February 28, 2025, you are eligible for the fee waiver.
• Paid by Mistake? If eligible, you may request reimbursement after staff review.

If you have any questions, our business license team is happy to assist you by phone at (805) 562-5503, by email at businesslicense@cityofgoleta.gov, or in person at City Hall (130 Cremona Drive).
