Business License Tax Outreach

Business License Tax Outreach

In November 2024, Redwood City residents voted “Yes” on Measure BB to change the structure of the City’s business license tax. Measure BB modernizes the current business license tax structure by adjusting tax rates based on the business category, with the highest rates on larger industries and businesses. Doing so means large businesses pay a higher proportionate amount of business tax, while small retail and commercial businesses would have a lower tax rates.

The City is organizing several informational meetings about the new structure and answer questions from business owners prior to renewal notices going out in May and after.

Complete information about the new business license tax structure can be found on a new website: RedwoodCity.org/NewBLT. The new incremental tax rates are phasing in over two years.

Please join us in person to learn more about how the changes will affect your business.
