What do I need to do in order to open a massage business in the City of San Gabriel?
All new massage businesses and those with any change in ownership must first obtain a Conditional Use Permit from the Planning Division. This entails a public hearing before the Planning Commission and takes approximately 60-90 days. Please see the Planning Division for details. If the permit is approved each owner and manager of the business must come to City Hall to apply and pay for an Operator Permit. Once the Operator Permits have been issued by the Police Department the owner may apply for a business license and Certificate of Operation . We will need the Articles of Incorporation and Statement of Information, LLC papers, and/or Fictitious Business Name Statement, whichever are applicable. We will also need a floor plan, drawn to scale in feet and inches, on paper no bigger than 11”x17”. Everyone who provides massage services in the city must be certified by the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC.) All independent contractors will need to apply for their own business licenses. All employees will need to show their CAMTC photo ID cards at City Hall. Please call 626-308-2812 with any questions or for additional information.
