Licensing fees for charitable or nonprofit organizations and individuals
Effective October 18, 2024, all organizational licenses will expire June 30, regardless of when the license was issued.
For a complete list of fees for charitable and nonprofit organizations, visit the Washington State Legislature site for all the charitable or nonprofit license fees (apps.leg.wa.gov).
For a complete list of fees for individuals, visit the Washington State Legislature site for all the individual license fees (apps.leg.wa.gov).
These lists are intended to provide information about annual fees and do not cover all situations where fees are due.
When a gross gambling receipt rate is present, the base license fee is credited toward the amount due on the quarterly license report. For example, if your base license fee is $70 and your calculated quarterly license fee is $100 for the first quarter, $30 is due.
