Cagayan de Oro handles new and renewal business permits online through the City Treasurer's system or at the Business One-Stop Shop on Capistrano-Hayes Streets. The 2026 renewal season opened at the BOSS on 5 January, and the City Council later extended the deadline to 31 March. Bring your most recent permit. If you registered only last year, add audited statements, a sworn declaration of gross sales or your ITR. Fees are computed by the city's system.[1,5,6,3,4]

Where to file: online or at the BOSS
The Business Permits and Licensing Division sits at the Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) on Capistrano-Hayes Streets. Its services cover new and renewal permits, both walk-in and online, and its email is bpld@cagayandeoro.gov.ph.[5]
In December 2024 the city urged businesses to use the online system at citytreasurer.cagayandeoro.gov.ph for new applications and renewals. The city's Online Services page says it automates the application, the computation of taxes and fees, billing, payment and collection.[1,2]
The 2023 FAQ also says the BOSS is open 8 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 5 PM on weekends. Check that those hours still apply before a late visit.[4]
Registered only last year? Your first renewal is different
If you registered your business in the previous year, the online system cannot produce your renewal billing. The city's 2023 FAQ says to bring your most recent business permit plus audited financial statements, a notarized sworn declaration of gross sales, or your income tax return to the Revenue Examination Division at the BOSS.[4]
Example: a carinderia in Barangay Carmen that opened in 2025 files its first renewal at the BOSS counter, not online. From the second renewal, the online billing should work.
The 2026 window and extension
The 2026 annual renewal and registration began at the BOSS in City Hall on 5 January and was set to end on 20 January. The city expected about 30,000 businesses.[6]
At its 19 January session the City Council extended the business permit renewal deadline for city-based businesses to 31 March.[3]
The Local Government Code sets the first 20 days of January for paying local taxes and lets the council extend it by up to six months.[7]
Taxes and fees are computed by the city's system; ask for your assessment to see the amounts.
How to pay
The city's 2023 FAQ says it accepts manager's or cashier's checks and VISA debit or credit cards, both for walk-in and online payments.[4]
If you pay by check, ask the treasurer's office whom to make it payable to before you write it.
