Complete the Assumed Name Records Certificate of Ownership for Unincorporated Business or Profession Form. The form is available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, which requires Acrobat Reader version 3.0 or higher to view or print, available free from Adobe. You may also obtain the form from the County Clerk's office. For a nominal fee ($3.00), notary services are available on the first floor of the courthouse at the main information booth. The booth is open from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm weekdays.
Visit our offices at 5501 Airport Blvd. and conduct a search of the records to determine if the name you wish to use has been filed by someone else. This will take you about ten to fifteen minutes. We will conduct the search for you, for a $10 fee (payable in advance).
File the completed form with our office (same location as above).

Fees: $13.00 plus $0.50 for each name on the form, including the business name and each owner's name.

Example: Filing a business with only one owner would cost $14.00 ($13.00 fee plus $0.50 for owner's name, plus $0.50 for business name.)

Fees must be paid by cashier's check, money order, or cash. Checks are not accepted.
The original form will be mailed back to you in a few days.
File a new form if any of the information changes during the next ten years. If you discontinue using the business name, file an abandonment. If you are still using the name at the end of ten years, you must file a new form.
