Bacoor takes business permit renewals online at boss.bacoor.gov.ph or in person. For 2026 the city asked for your last business permit or statement of account, a basis for computing taxes such as your ITR or quarterly tax returns, and a staffing report for the city's PESO. Walk-in renewal ran 2 to 30 January at STRIKE Gymnasium, and a 25% penalty started on 1 February. Fees are assessed by the city.[3,5]

Renewing in 2026: online or at STRIKE Gymnasium
For 2026 the city set walk-in renewal at STRIKE Gymnasium from 2 to 30 January, 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays only. It told owners to bring their requirements and renew early to avoid the 25% penalty starting 1 February.[3]
In the last week of January the city repeated it: renew before 30 January to avoid the 25% penalty from 1 February, and bring your original documents to STRIKE Gymnasium.[4]
You did not have to go in person. The city's advisory two days before the deadline said renewal can be done online on boss.bacoor.gov.ph.[5]
The city site's Services menu also lists online application for business and building permits and an online appointment option on the same portal.[1]
The gross sales papers
Your business tax comes from the figures you declare. Bacoor asks for an income tax return, a quarterly VAT or percentage tax return, or a notarized audited financial statement. Businesses with branches itemize gross sales for all of them and add a sworn declaration of gross sales or receipts.[3]
The city's list also names BIR Form 2550M, the monthly VAT return.[3]
Bring the returns you filed with BIR for the year, not new figures. The assessor compares them.
The list also asks for a count of job vacancies, total employees and employees who live in Bacoor, for the city's Public Employment Service Office. Have that ready before you line up.[3]
Paying by quarter and the penalty
Businesses that pay their permit in installments had these 2026 due dates: 20 April for the 2nd quarter, 20 July for the 3rd quarter and the second semi-annual payment, and 20 October for the 4th quarter. The city's reminder says to pay on time to avoid a penalty.[6]
A 25% penalty on a ₱10,000 business tax adds ₱2,500. For 2026 the city announced that penalty from 1 February for late renewals.[2]
The Local Government Code lets local taxes be paid within the first 20 days of January or of each quarter, and lets the city council extend the period.[8]
Starting a new business in Bacoor
The newest new-business list on the city site is a 2017 page that is still live. It asks for DTI or SEC registration, a barangay business clearance, an occupancy permit, a real property tax payment, a lease if you rent, a location sketch with a front photo, and one copy of the filled-up application form. Check it against the current list when you book on the portal.[7]
Some lines of business need an agency paper first. Gasoline stations need a DOE certificate of compliance, LPG sellers a DOE license to operate, pest control services an FDA license, and pawnshops and money service businesses BSP certificates. Several types, including pawnshops and real estate brokers, also need AMLC registration.[3]
