(a) All businesses require a physical base of business, including a mobile business or peddling business. If the business is based from a residence or commercial space that is not located in unincorporated Humboldt County proof of an existing business license issued from the agency that licenses the physical base of operation must be provided. Proof of an insurance policy covering business operations in unincorporated Humboldt County is required.

(b) All persons and entities under contract or agreement with the County or public entity for which the Board of Supervisors is the governing body must have a valid Humboldt County business license or a State of California license or exemption which releases that person or entity from local business license requirements.

(c) The fact that a person or entity represents they are engaged in, or exhibits any sign or advertising for, a business for which a business license is required shall be substantial evidence the person or entity is in fact engaged in that business. (Ord. 2660, § 2, 11/17/2020)
