Operating License (Tepotzotlán, Estado de México)
By: Alejandro Beas Figueroa
The Business License is the document that authorizes the operation of a business at a specific establishment. It is issued by the Directorate of Economic Development and Promotion of the Tepotzotlán City Council and can be requested by both individuals and legal entities. This license must be obtained before operations begin and is valid for one fiscal year, being renewed within the first quarter of each year.
To obtain it, it is necessary to have the authorizations of Civil Protection and Environment, as well as verify that the property is suitable for the activity, through the Land Use License.
Article 76 of the Tepotzotlán Municipal Code establishes the requirement for this license for commercial, industrial, and service activities, among others, and indicates both its validity period and renewal period. Furthermore, the Tepotzotlán Municipal Regulations for Commerce, Industry, Services, Entertainment, Advertising, and Public Thoroughfares specify the requirements to be met according to the type of activity to be carried out.
The lack of an Operating License or failure to renew it on time may result in penalties such as temporary or permanent closures, fines or cancellation of the license, in accordance with the provisions of article 96 of the Municipal Code.
