By  Mary May A. Abellon

DIPOLOG CITY, January 8 (PIA) - - Lourdes Pabilona, Officer IV of the License Division, under the Office of the City Mayor calls for  owners and managers of business establishments to renew their business permits before the deadline to prevent possible penalties and additional burden.

The city government is encouraging all business establishments to renew their business permits and licenses by conducting a “One-Stop Shop” at the City Hall Lobby.

The scheme opened last January 2 and will be concluded January 20 of this year. It is composed of all offices under the LGU involved in the licensing renewal process namely: the City Health office;  Office of the Building Official; Engineering Office; Bureau of Fire and Protection;  CMO-Licensing Division ; and  Office of the Treasurer.

This is conducted annually to help facilitate the smooth flow of the business permits licensing renewal process. In addition, this will make it easier for the public to renew their permits without the burden of going from one office to the other.

The business license renewal is pursuant to Ordinance No. 96-001, Series of 1996 otherwise known as the Revised Revenue Code of 1997 of the City of Dipolog. (ALT/MAA/PIA-Zambo Norte)
