Los Angeles Cleaning Business Requirements
City of Los Angeles Business Tax Registration
LA requires a Business Tax Registration Certificate (BTRC) from the Office of Finance. The annual tax is based on gross receipts — approximately $5.07 per $1,000 for service businesses. Apply online at finance.lacity.org.
California LLC Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the California Secretary of State ($70 for LLC). California also charges an annual $800 LLC franchise tax regardless of revenue — factor this into your business plan.
California Sales Tax
California does not generally charge sales tax on cleaning services. However, if you sell cleaning products as part of your service, those may be taxable. LA County’s combined sales tax rate is 10.25%.
General Liability Insurance
Essential in LA due to high property values and litigious environment. Most clients require $1M–$2M coverage. Expect $600–$1,200/year for a small cleaning business.
LA Minimum Wage
The City of Los Angeles minimum wage is $16.78/hour (2024), higher than the California state minimum. Factor this into your pricing when hiring employees. LA County has its own minimum wage for unincorporated areas.
