Business Licenses

The City of Orting has partnered with the Department of Revenue’s Business Licensing Service (BLS) effective February 7, 2019. BLS will process the City of Orting business licenses. Our partnership with BLS will allow you “one-stop shopping” when applying or renewing many of your state and city licenses. New or expanding businesses will be able to apply for their city license online along with other state and local licenses that partner with BLS. We are sure you will value the savings in travel time, wait time, and bookkeeping costs that this service represents.

For both renewals and new businesses, fees are based on the annual gross income of your business:

$0-$10,000: $0
Above $10,000: $50

Log on or create an account at http://www.secureaccesswa.gov/. This is where you pay your State of Washington Business License fee. Simply add the City of Orting as an endorsement to your State Business License.
