Mayor simplifies renewal of business permit
BAGUIO City Mayor Braulio Yaranon has issued Administrative Order (AO) 326 to enforce a simpler method in the renewal of business permits by lessening the documents required.
Yaranon said effective Jan. 1, 2006, the only document that will have to be secured by businessmen to renew their permits will be a clearance from the City Treasurer's Office (CTO); certification of payment of taxes; barangay clearance; sanitary permit and certification of attendance on the seminar on character for bars, amusement centers, billiards, computers with games, video and liquor-dispensing establishments.
He said the city will no longer require certifications from the City Environment and Parks Management Office (Cepmo), the City Fire Department (CFD) and the City Building and Architect's Office (CBAO).
In lieu of the requirements, the city will instead furnish the three offices with a list of all business establishments issued new and renewed permits on a monthly basis. The city offices, in turn, will be required to conduct inspections of the establishments to make sure that the businessmen have been complying with existing ordinances and regulations.
"Part of the government's service is to have taxpayers pay their taxes conveniently and comfortably. So as to encourage taxpayers to pay their taxes, the processing of the renewal of business permits should be made easy for all," Yaranon said.
