Contact the Treasurer and Tax Collector to open a Business Registration account for your massage business.

6. Submit a background check form and fee

If you have a Massage Therapist License from the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) you do not need to complete this background check.

Email the form to sfpdpermits@sfgov.org. The Police Department will contact you to schedule an appointment to get finger printed and take next steps. You will need to pay the fee in person.

The background check is valid for 3 months.

Check the fee schedule for the exact amount. Permits are valid for 1 year. You must pay your license fee each year to keep your permit valid.
