商业活动许可证 and Business Tax Account Number

A 商业活动许可证 (“CAL”) allows you to own and run a business in Philadelphia including renting out units for residential housing.   You need a 商业活动许可证 to apply for housing rental license (which allows you to rent residential units).

There are two things that you need before you will be able to get a 商业活动许可证: 

• A 费城税务账号 (also called a Business Income and Receipts Tax account or BIRT for short).

City of Philadelphia - Lead Certification Acknowledgement Form

Philadelphia now requires that either a “lead safe/lead free” certificate or an “EXEMPTION FORM” be filed for ALL of your rental units.  The exemption for not requiring a submission of a lead test is based upon the date the property was built.  If the property was built (from the ground up/including basement) after March 1978, you are not required to have the property tested, but you are REQUIRED to submit the exemption form.  If your building was not built after March 1978, your property is NOT EXEMPT.
