It is required BEFORE any business, trade, profession, enterprise, establishment, occupation or calling is conducted within the City of Ojai -- even if the business is outside city limits or you have a business license from another city. The tax period is a calendar year, January 1 st through December 31st. Business tax fees are paid at the beginning of each calendar year and renewals are delinquent after January 31st. New businesses applying for a Business License after July 1st are entitled to a reduction in the tax fee.
