Registered Business Locations - San Francisco
NEW!: Use the new Business Account Number lookup tool.
SUMMARY
This dataset includes the locations of businesses that pay taxes to the City and County of San Francisco. Each registered business may have multiple locations and each location is a single row. The Treasurer & Tax Collector’s Office collects this data through business registration applications, account update/closure forms, and taxpayer filings. Business locations marked as “Administratively Closed” have not filed or communicated with TTX for 3 years, or were marked as closed following a notification from another City and County Department.
The data is collected to help enforce the Business and Tax Regulations Code including, but not limited to: Article 6, Article 12, Article 12-A, and Article 12-A-1. http://sftreasurer.org/registration.
HOW TO USE THIS DATASET
System migration in 2014: When the City transitioned to a new system in 2014, only active business accounts were migrated. As a result, any businesses that had already closed by that point were not included in the current dataset.
2018 account cleanup: In 2018, TTX did a major cleanup of dormant and unresponsive accounts and closed approximately 40,000 inactive businesses.
