(8) What should I do with my business license? The business license document must be displayed in a conspicuous place at the business location for which the license is issued.
(9) Do I need to renew my business license?
(a) The various licenses endorsed and displayed on the business license may each have a requirement to be renewed periodically. The department may prorate the terms of individual licenses and associated fees as needed so that all requested licenses on the account are due for renewal at the same time.
(b) Licenses requiring renewal must be renewed by the expiration date or the department will assess a delinquency fee. The delinquency fee is calculated according to RCW
19.02.085 and must be paid by the licensee before a business license is renewed. Other regulatory agencies may also assess delinquency fees and/or penalties for late renewal, and may cancel the individual licenses for nonrenewal. Reissuance of individual licenses canceled for nonrenewal may require the filing of a new business license application.
