Read the following information before signing below
The payment of a license tax required by the provisions of the Merced Municipal Code and its acceptance by the City, and the issuance of such license to any person shall not entitle the holder thereof to carry on any business unless he has complied with all the requirements of the Merced Municipal Code, California Fire Code, California Building Code, and all other applicable laws, nor to carry on any business in any building or on any premises designated on such license in the event that such building or premises are situated in a zone or locality in which the conduct of such business is in violation of any law.

This business license does not grant authorization to occupy any space, building, premises or property that requires modifications or additional approvals or permits. Any modifications or change of occupancy category to the building or space may require building permits. All new uses occupying space through lease, rent or ownership, whether a lot, tenant space, or portion of a property, must comply with local zoning laws. It is the responsibility of the business license applicant to obtain all necessary permits and approvals from the building department, fire department and planning department prior to occupying the space. For the reasons stated above, it is highly advisable that applicants for a business license contact the Building Department and Planning Department as early in the process of obtaining a business license as is possible. By ensuring permits and approvals are obtained in advance of occupancy, unforeseen construction and permit fees may be avoided.

Additionally, the Merced County Environmental Health Department has requirements for certain business operations such as any Food Facilities, Hazardous Materials/Waste (including medical), Care Facilities, Labor Services (handyman/contractors/janitorial/yard service, and many others).

Please contact them at (209) 381-1100, or visit their offices at 260 E. 15th Street.

By signature below, I certify that I will operate my business in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and City laws and regulations, including the requirements of the California Fire and Building Codes. I also certify that I am aware that it is my responsibility to obtain any necessary permits and/or approvals prior to occupying a business location, and that violations must be corrected.

CERTIFIED ACCESS SPECIALIST INSPECTION SERVICES
Compliance with state and federal construction-related accessibility standards ensures that public places are accessible and available to individuals with disabilities. Whether your business is moving into a newly constructed facility or you are planning an alteration to your current facility, by engaging the services of a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) early in this process you will benefit from the advantages of compliance and under the Construction-Related Accessibility Standards Compliance Act (CRASCA, Civil Code 55.51-

55.545), also benefit from legal protections.

Although your new facility may have already been permitted and approved by the building department, it is important to obtain CASp inspection services after your move-in because unintended access barriers and violations can be created, for example, placing your furniture and equipment in areas required to be maintained clear of obstructions. For planned alterations, a CASp can provide plan review of your improvement plans and an access compliance evaluation of the public accommodation areas of your facility that may not be part of the alteration.

A CASp is a professional who has been certified by the State of California to have specialized knowledge regarding the applicability of accessibility standards. CASp inspection reports prepared according to CRASCA entitle business and facility owners to specific legal benefits, in the event that a construction-related accessibility claim is filed against them.

To find a CASp, visit www.apps2.dgs.ca.gov/DSA/casp/casp certified list.aspx. (Issued 12-28-18)
