We could not find a Tarlac City page on business permits. The city website did not load, and searches turned up no city portal. What still applies is the national rule: your barangay clearance comes before the mayor's permit, and local taxes are paid within the first 20 days of January unless the council extends the period. Fees are assessed by the city.[1]
Tarlac City in numbers
Tarlac City had 385,398 residents in the 2020 census. A city that size runs its own Business Permits and Licensing Office, sets its own fees and announces its own January schedule.[2]
The January rule
Under the Local Government Code, local taxes are paid within the first 20 days of January or of each quarter, and the city council can extend the period by up to six months. We found no Tarlac City extension for 2024 to 2026.[1]
What to ask at City Hall
Ask the permits office for its requirement list, the fees for your business type, whether it takes applications online, and the January dates. Write down the name of the person you spoke to. Then follow the mayor's permit guide.
