All you need is a sales permit/license from your state !!! Pay your tax and nothing bad will happen to you !!!
Why would your city won’t give you a license ? Don’t mention to them it’s home based. Just DBA or sole proprietor!!!

楼上 感谢回复 但是政策是一定要business license 的. 打电话给city 询问了也是必须要.而且尤其是homebase是需要填写zoning  clearance form的

Thank you for replying. I think you are not familiar the rules. If you ask you city you will know most of cities in California require the business license no matter individual or business. You can just google you city name plus business license to see if they required. It’s not you don’t mentioned and do it are okay!
Below is the example.
WHO IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A LICENSE?
Any person who conducts business in or is based from the unincorporated area of the County of Contra Costa must obtain a business license. Conducting business in the unincorporated area of the County of Contra Costa without a license can result in penalties, notice of violations, and finally, court action.
Welcome to tell me which city in California doesn’t nee

As a pure sole proprietor, you don't really need a license unless you sell food or health products etc. If you plan to use business name other than your own name, you will need to file a DBA in your own local town.
Of course if you mentioned home based business the city people thinks you have clieny traffic in and out of your home so they require you to have license.
For my Etsy business I just file a DBA with my city so I have a business name anf can use it to open a bank account and buy business insurance !!!

I believe you only need to file DBA ie fictitious business name if you are only selling in Etsy!!!
That's what I do ... But I am not from California ... I am from Massachusetts !!!
As sole proprietor ie individual, the process is much simpler if you are selling online ... You just complicated it by mentioning home based business because home based can mean many things !!!

Thank you for the information. Etsy operates a bit differently. The city informed me that if I want to sell customized items on esty, it might be permissible. However, reselling items, be it clothes, hats, or nails no matter what,imported from another country, is not allowed.The zone clearance form require you declare you won’t storage, package or shipping, if you do will influence the neighborhood do they won’t issue you the business license. Just because Etsy permits something doesn't mean Amazon, EBay ,or Shopify will. It all depends on the platform and the type of goods you're selling. Therefore, your previous answers were too general and not entirely accurate.

I have DBA, I also get selling permit. I give them all to my city. But still can’t get the business license. And the answer is individual or business has to have the business license. If you city doesn’t need. Okay. Good for you. I want to get more useful information not just challenging my city

WHAT IS A BUSINESS LICENSE?
A Business License is an annual tax you pay each calendar year for doing business within the unincorporated area of the County of Contra Costa.
The County Ordinance requires that you obtain a license for conducting any business activity within the unincorporated areas -- even if your business is located OUTSIDE our limits or you have a Business License from another city.
The Business License is evidence only that your tax has been paid. Other permits may be required to open your business.

It seems like your city requires business license because they want to make sure you pay your taxes !!!
Anyway why do they turn you down ... What products are you selling ?

You wasting our time by not saying why they turned you down? Zoning issues etc ... Otherwise a simple selling online business should be fairly simple !!!

Sorry I didn't see your reply earlier !!!
I see ... Your county is too picky !!! Good luck then!!! Most city and town are not that picky !!!
Also you gave them too much information ... Make things more complicated ... And becomes a zoning issue !!!
Maybe you need a local attorney to help you with your local issues!!!
Next time make things simpler in your application !!!
