What is Solicitor Fees Process and Information Form- updated FY27 – Murrieta, CA?
The Solicitor Fees Process and Information Form- updated FY27 is the City of Murrieta Business License document that sets out the solicitor license process, lists the fees involved and contains the Solicitor License Information Form you complete and attach to your online application.
The first part describes two solicitor types. A W2 employee solicitor works for a business that must hold a current, active Murrieta business license. An independent contractor 1099 solicitor applies for a solicitor license and, separately, for a business license. It then walks through the process: online application, payment of fees, pick-up of a solicitor packet, a background check interview with the Police Department (P.D.) administrator, a photo for the solicitor photo ID card, and release of the license and card by mail.
The fee list names five items: Solicitor License (annual), Solicitor Photo ID (annual), Background/LiveScan (one-time), AB1379 CASp Fee (annual) and, for independent contractors, Business License (annual). The business license fee is based on gross annual income under the City's fee schedule. Amounts are not repeated here; check the form and the City's fee schedule.
The second part is the Solicitor License Information Form: business information, applicant information, physical description, historical record, and a declaration made under penalty of perjury. The form states that a license or ID card does not mean the City endorses the purpose or the persons conducting the solicitation.
Who needs to file Solicitor Fees Process and Information Form- updated FY27 – Murrieta, CA?
Anyone who wants a solicitor license from the City of Murrieta completes the Solicitor License Information Form and attaches it to the online application. The process depends on the solicitor type:
- W2 employee solicitors: the business must hold a current, active Murrieta business license. The solicitor provides a letter from the business stating he or she is a W2 employee, completes an online application and attaches the information form. An additional business license is not required.
- Independent contractor 1099 solicitors: the solicitor completes the information form and two online applications, one for a solicitor license (with the form attached) and one for a business license.
Every applicant must be fingerprinted, complete a background investigation with the Murrieta Police Department and have a photograph taken for the solicitor identification card, and there is a fee for each of these requirements.
The City's business license page adds that every person (1099) or entity planning to engage in business within city limits must apply for a license, whether or not the business is subject to taxation.
When to file Solicitor Fees Process and Information Form- updated FY27 – Murrieta, CA
The Solicitor License Information Form is submitted when you file the online solicitor license application, because it is attached to that application. The form prints no separate due date.
After the online application or applications are complete and the fees are paid, you pick up a solicitor packet, complete its forms and make an appointment for the background check interview. Results are communicated roughly 2 to 3 weeks after the interview, by email or phone. If the background check is approved, you are told to make an appointment with the Human Resources department for the photo ID card. The license, and the business license if applicable, are mailed to you with the card once the City receives it.
The solicitor license, solicitor photo ID and AB1379 CASp fees are annual; the Background/LiveScan fee is one-time.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Filing only one online application as an independent contractor 1099 solicitor; the form calls for two, one for the solicitor license and one for the business license.
- Applying as a W2 employee solicitor without a letter from the business stating that you are a W2 employee.
- Applying as a W2 solicitor when the business has no current, active Murrieta business license.
- Not attaching the completed Solicitor License Information Form to the online application.
- Answering Yes to a historical record question without briefly explaining it or attaching an additional page when needed.
- Leaving the signature and date blank on the declaration made under penalty of perjury; false or misleading statements can lead to denial or revocation of the license and ID card.
- Filing a separate business license application as a W2 employee solicitor; the form says an additional business license is not required.
- Expecting the license after the online application alone; fees, the background check interview and the photo ID card must be completed first.
