Lowest Business License Fee in the Tri-Valley Area

The City of Dublin has the lowest fee in the Tri-Valley area for a business license. The City only charges the amount necessary to recover its regulatory costs instead of basing its fee on the amount of gross revenue generated or staff employed by a business, as many other cities do, which often results in a substantially higher fee.
