Police Permits

Permit applications submitted to the Police Department will be accepted through the City’s new MyGovernmentOnline (MGO) permitting platform. Before you submit an application for the first time, you must create a user account. For more information about all other permits and MGO, please visit the City’s Permits Center.

All Police Department Permits require a separate business license with the exception of Block Party and Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permits. 

  • If you are an independent contractor to a business, you need a business license. 
  • If you are an employee, you do NOT need a business license.   

For business license information, please contact the City Finance Department at (408) 866-2174. 

Those interested in Field or Trail permits for special events or fun run events please call Iseth Rae, Recreation & Community Services Department, at 408- 866-2741 or e-mail IsethR@campbellca.gov.
