Publish Your Murrieta FBN Now — $66Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does it cost to publish an FBN in Murrieta, CA?
- NewFBN charges a flat $66 to publish a Fictitious Business Name statement for businesses in Murrieta and anywhere else in Riverside County. The $66 covers all four required weekly publications plus the Proof of Publication affidavit. Additional business names on the same filing are $5 each.
- Does the newspaper have to be located in Murrieta?
- No. Under California Business and Professions Code §17917, the newspaper must be a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the principal place of business is located — not specifically in Murrieta. The Hemet & San Jacinto Chronicle (which publishes NewFBN orders) is adjudicated as a newspaper of general circulation for all of Riverside County, so it covers Murrieta.
- Where do I file the FBN before publishing it?
- File your FBN with the Riverside County Clerk-Recorder. The main office is at 2724 Gateway Drive, Riverside, CA 92507, and there's a branch at 880 N. State Street, Hemet, CA 92543. You can also file online. After filing, you have 30 days to start publication.
- How long does FBN publication take in Murrieta?
- California law requires four consecutive weekly publications. NewFBN publishes every Thursday — orders received by Tuesday at noon appear in that week's edition. All four runs complete within 28 days, and we email your Proof of Publication within 2–3 business days after the final run.
- What happens if I don't publish within 30 days of filing?
- If you miss the 30-day window, your FBN filing is deemed abandoned by the county and you must start over with a new filing and a new filing fee. Don't wait — order your publication as soon as you receive the county-stamped FBN statement back from the Clerk-Recorder.
