Moorpark requires massage establishments and practitioners to hold a city business license and California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) certification before operating within city limits.
Massage businesses operating in Moorpark must obtain a city business license under MMC Title 5 and verify each practitioner holds a current CAMTC certificate per California Business and Professions Code section 4600. Establishments must operate from properly zoned commercial space, post certificates publicly, maintain client records, and comply with health inspections. CAMTC preempts most local certification rules but cities retain zoning and business-license authority. Violations may trigger license suspension and code enforcement action by Ventura County Sheriff.
Operating without a city business license or employing uncertified practitioners may result in citations, license revocation, and misdemeanor charges referred to the Ventura County District Attorney.
