The Business License Application Form is available online and may be filled out and submitted by mail or in person to the Finance Department. Once your business license application is submitted, it will be reviewed and assigned a license number. Once all approvals have been made, a Business License Tax Certificate will be issued. Most business licenses are issued for a 12-month period, to be renewed each year within 30 days of expiration to avoid penalties and interest charges. For more detailed information about what is required start up a new business, contact the Finance Department at (626) 570-5020 or refer to: Starting a Business in Alhambra.   Dog License - Renew Annually  The City of Alhambra processes requests for animal licenses handled by the County of Los Angeles Animal Care and Control Division for dogs four months and older.  The owner must come to the Finance Department Customer Service counter for processing and payment of fees. Proof of the dog’s current rabies vaccination certificate is required to issue a license. The fee is $30 per year for a non-spayed or non-neutered animal and $15 per year with a Certificate of Sterilization. If the pet owner is a senior citizen (60 years or older), the fee is $7.50 with proof of sterilization and owner's age (i.e. driver's license). While senior citizens are required to pay the fee, it is possible to qualify for a refund upon approval of the Revenue Manager. All new animal licenses expire one-year from the date of issue. A $20 penalty fee is charged for failure to license a dog or cat when the license lapses beyond the expiration date or the pet was not previously licensed as required by law.  METRO RAIL/BUS PASSES & TOKENS Regular Metro Bus and Rail Tokens - The City of Alhambra Finance Department sells Metro bus and rail tokens at its main customer service counter.
