Addressing Our Outdated Business License Structure
The City recently conducted a quality of life survey. The results of that survey showed over two-thirds of respondents rated Upland’s quality of life as good or excellent. We are working to protect what makes our community strong, including supporting the small businesses that contribute to our community’s character.
As part of these efforts, the City is reviewing our existing Business License structure, which hasn’t been updated since 1994 – 31 years ago.
We are working with our business stakeholders and small business owners to focus on approaches that support small businesses with no impact to residents and homeowners. Our goal is for Upland’s ordinance to match the current mix of businesses in our city, provide relief for small businesses, and ensure that the largest businesses pay their fair share for our essential city services.
We look forward to keeping you updated on this important community discussion. If you have questions, please contact businessupdate@uplandca.gov
