Business Licenses

Every person engaging in business within the city of North Bend during any portion of any taxable year must obtain a valid and subsisting license, commonly known as a “business license.” This requirement applies to home occupations, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors.

The city partners with the Washington State Business Licensing Service to issue city business licenses. This combined licensing system allows the business owner to meet the local and state requirements with one transaction. A city license will be added to your State Master Business License as an addendum. City business licenses are renewed annually. The license will expire on the date established by the business licensing service.

Each license is personal and nontransferable. In case a business is transacted at two or more separate places by one taxpayer, a separate license is required for each place and a separate registration fee and handling fee must be paid for each place that a business license is issued.
