What is Multiple year renewal form – Murrieta, CA?
The Multiple year renewal form, headed Murrieta Business License Multiple Year Renewal, is the City of Murrieta form on which a licensed business lists several renewal years, with the renewal period and annual gross receipts for each, and signs a declaration under penalty of perjury.
The form identifies the business by its Business License Number and Business Name. It then provides four numbered rows. Each row holds a year, a renewal period and the annual gross receipts for that year, and a separate line asks for the month and day for each period. The declaration at the bottom states under the laws of the State of California that the information is true and correct, and the form must be signed by an owner or officer of the business, with a printed first and last name and a title.
The form reproduces section 5.04.170 of the city's rules, "Penalty for failure to pay license fee when due". Under it, a gross receipts or flat-rate license fee not paid by five p.m. on the day due draws a penalty added the next day, plus monthly interest from the due date until the fee is paid. A business that never obtained a valid license owes the license fee from the first date it was in business in the city, with penalties and interest.
The city's business licensing page describes the wider program: the City of Murrieta licenses businesses, and its Business Licensing staff handle renewals, balances due and updates. This form is only the multiple-year renewal sheet.
Who needs to file Multiple year renewal form – Murrieta, CA?
The form is for a business that already holds a Murrieta business license, shown by its Business License Number, and wants to renew for more than one period on a single sheet. It has room for four years, each with its own renewal period and annual gross receipts.
The declaration must be signed by an owner or an officer of the business. The form says so in the signature line, so an employee or outside preparer signing in their own name does not satisfy it.
The city's business licensing page explains the wider rule behind licensing: every person (1099) or entity planning to engage in business within city limits must apply for a license, pay applicable fees and obtain the appropriate approvals, whether or not the business is subject to taxation or carried on for profit. A business that has not yet applied for a license is not renewing, and section 5.04.170, printed on the form, says the fee for an unlicensed business runs from the first date it was in business in the city.
The form does not say which businesses qualify to renew several years at once. Ask the city's Business Licensing staff at (951)461-6042 or [email protected] if you are unsure.
When to file Multiple year renewal form – Murrieta, CA
The form prints no filing deadline of its own, so its timing follows the renewal periods you list on it and the date the license fee falls due. The reminder printed on the form is that a gross receipts or flat-rate license fee not paid by five p.m. on the day due is charged a penalty from the following day, plus interest each month from the due date until it is paid (section 5.04.170).
Complete the form when you are renewing for more than one period, with a year, a renewal period and the annual gross receipts for each. The city's online renewal page describes its own window for renewing online, which is separate from this paper form; for the due date of a particular period, contact the Business Licensing staff at (951)461-6042.

How to submit Multiple year renewal form – Murrieta, CA
The form prints three ways to reach the City of Murrieta Business License office, and it does not say which one to use to send the completed form:
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: (951)461-6042
- Address: 1 Town Square, Murrieta, CA. 92562
Confirm with the Business Licensing staff how they want the signed form delivered and how the license fee is to be paid. A fee based on gross receipts or a flat rate applies, and the form does not state the amount; ask the staff for it. The city's business licensing page also lists separate online services for renewals and payments, with secure payments accepted by Visa, MasterCard and Discover, but it does not tie them to this form.
The form must be signed by an owner or officer of the business before it is sent. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the city's channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Having someone other than an owner or officer of the business sign; the signature line says it must be the owner or an officer.
- Leaving the Business License Number or the Business Name blank, so the city cannot tell which license is being renewed.
- Listing a year without its renewal period or its annual gross receipts, since each of the four rows asks for all three.
- Signing without dating the form or without printing your first and last name and title.
- Paying after five p.m. on the day the fee is due, which adds a penalty from the next day plus monthly interest under section 5.04.170.
- Treating the renewal as optional for an unlicensed business: the license fee runs from the first date in business in the city, with penalties and interest.
- Using this form for a first-time license application instead of renewing a license that already has a number.
