New Requirements:
SIC Codes and Industrial General Permit Requirements

On October 2, 2019, the State of California passed Senate Bill 205, effective January 1, 2020, requiring certain regulated businesses to demonstrate enrollment with Stormwater Industrial General Permits (IGP) BEFORE cities may issue, or renew, a local business license.

What should a business do to comply with these requirements?
  1. Determine the primary Standard Industry Classification (SIC) Code(s) for your business using SIC Search or NAICS/SIC crosswalk if you know your NAICS.  If you have questions or need assistance, email Tax.Collector@ventura.org and we can assist you with finding the best fit.
  2. Determine whether the SIC code is one required to enroll in the State IGP program at IGP-regulated codes.
  3. If the SIC code is a regulated code, enroll the business under the State’s IGP SMART tracking system and then continue to #5.
  4. If the SIC code for your business IS NOT a regulated code, continue with your renewal form and skip #5.
  5. Provide one of the following to the County of Ventura with your business license renewal: WDID application # and WDID, or NONA, or NEC.
