Fees for Existing and New Businesses
Business license fees for existing and new businesses in and outside of the City of Burien:
- Home occupation business based in the city of Burien - $70 annually
- Business based inside the City of Burien – other than home occupation, with zero to 39 employees - $180 annually
- Business based inside the City of Burien – other than home occupation, with 40 or more employees - $350 annually
- Business based outside the City of Burien - $180 annually
The first BLS renewal fee will be prorated for less than the annual amount as your current city license expiration date will be changed to match the state license expiration date that BLS already has for your business in their system.
When you receive your next renewal notice, prior to your new expiration date, you will be charged the full annual renewal fee. That renewal will also include an $11 BLS renewal processing fee. This fee helps cover BLS processing costs, as well as the printing and mailing of renewals and licenses.
