For Online Application

With the advent of the pandemic, many government services have transitioned online. The Antipolo LGU has also created its online portal to accommodate the fast-growing Filipino online presence.

Downloadable forms are present for more accessible applications when needing other paper works. Most of these forms are affidavits that are required for most businesses.

Step 4: Compute Business Permit Fees 

After listing your business/es, you can click on the Compute Assessment option to calculate the total fees you will be paying for your businesses.

You have the option to pay for either the 1st yearly quarter up to the annual payment. A table of bills will then be displayed, showing the amount to be paid quarterly and the total amount to be paid.

Step 5: Pay For Your Business Permit Online

With the advancement of banking during the pandemic, two significant players in the online payment industry emerged, namely Gcash and Paymaya (now Maya). You can use both E-wallets to pay for your Business Permit Renewal or Business Permit Application in Antipolo.

Final Remarks

Paying for your business permits has been made easier in Antipolo City. However, online transactions are not always ideal, especially if you have a backlog of payments waiting. If you need to pay your fees in person at the city hall, you will have to book an appointment using this link. – WhatALife! / Vaughn
