San Joaquin County will never ask you to pay permit or other fees by wire transfer. Fees can be paid in person, by mail, or through the online Accela portal. If you receive a suspicious payment request, don't pay. Contact us at 209-468-8004 to verify.
Have an existing permit that you would like access to through your Accela account? You will need to register for an account within the new system.
Body Art Practitioners must be registered with the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) and shall not perform body art at any location other than a permitted permanent, mobile or temporary body art facility.

Complete the registration form and submit the annual fee.
An EHD inspector works with the practitioner to verify that the form and requirements are complete and then issues the practitioner permit.
