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.

If you love movies, and you love San Francisco, you're bound to love this -- a listing of filming locations of movies shot in San Francisco starting from 1924. You'll find the titles, locations, fun facts, names of the director, writer, actors, and studio for most of these films.

As of May 2018, the feed from the legacy mainframe CABLE was discontinued. It was extremely prone to issues and caused many delays in data accessibility. The new dataset linked above comes from the Crime Data Warehouse, a more reliable data system maintained by the Police Department.

This data will undergo a minor update to conform more closely to the schema of the new dataset. We will post a change notice when that work is planned. This change will not include adding new fields or backfilling data. It is provided as is. We are keeping data from the two systems separate to make it transparent to data users that there were fundamental changes.
