Barangay permit and Mayor's permit

A barangay clearance and a Mayor's permit are the local-government approvals a Philippine business needs, renewed annually alongside its BIR registration.

Why it matters

They are the paperwork most likely to lapse quietly, because they renew on a local calendar rather than a national one.

Together with BIR registration they are the set a landlord, a lender or a corporate client will ask to see.

Set a reminder rather than trusting the calendar. Renewals fall in the first weeks of the year for most LGUs, which is exactly when a resort is busiest and least likely to be thinking about paperwork.

In MangoHost

Your Mayor's permit or business licence is collected in onboarding alongside the BIR registration and the owner's government ID, so the set is held in one place rather than in a drawer.
