About each permit
Fictitious Business Name (DBA) Statement
Any of the ten industries operating under a name other than the owner's own legal name — true of nearly every restaurant, shop, salon or contracting business with a trade name — must file a Fictitious Business Name (DBA) statement with the LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, regardless of whether the business sits in an incorporated city or the unincorporated area, since this is a countywide recorder function. The base filing fee is $26 for one business name and one registrant, with $5 added for each additional name or registrant on the same statement; renewal is also $26. Filing online adds a $10.75 processing fee; a name search is $5 and a certified copy of a filed statement is $2.
