PDF Business License Application
and PDF Business License Application Fee
Schedule
You can complete the application online, or print it and fill it in manually.
(If using the online method, please print a copy, sign the application, and submit the signed
copy of the application and completed business license fee schedule.)
A business license is required to engage in business in
the City of Redmond. If your commercial or in-home business will be located
inside the city limits, you will need a City of Redmond business license. Please
view the City of Redmond map listed under General Maps to determine if your
business is located in the city limits. If your place of business is not located
within the city limits, but you or your agents will be physically coming into
the City to conduct business or to call on clients, you will also need a Redmond
business license. In addition, those who earn money without physical presence by
providing services such as telecommunications or be receiving rents need a City
of Redmond business license.
Please refer to the list of exempt businesses if you
are not sure whether your business requires a business license.
All business licenses expire December 31 of the year
issued and must be renewed annually. Payment of your renewal license must be
made on or before January 31 or late fees are assessed. The license will not be
considered valid until all late fees are paid.
If you are planning to sell or close your business, you must notify the
City. A notice of closing or sale of the business, including the
effective date, is required to officially close your account.
Non-payment of the license renewal fee does not automatically close your
business license account.
You may complete the application
packet in one of two ways, either online (a writeable PDF,
City of Redmond Business License Application

the application packet online, please print a copy, sign it and submit the
signed copy. If you complete the packet by hand, please submit a signed copy.
Return your completed application packet to the address listed on the
