An Update to the DCRA Business Licensing Fee Reductions

UPDATE - This email just hit my inbox. This is in regards to the information I shared from DCRA this morning on this POST.

From DCRA:

An Update on Business Licensing Fee Reductions

In our DCRA News released earlier today, we incorrectly identified all Basic Business Licenses as being eligible for reduced fees. We would like to clarify that DCRA is waiving the application fee of $70 dollars and the endorsement fee of $25 dollars for each application and renewal for General Business Licenses and Employment Services Licenses.

The reduction results in $99 dollars for the following license types: General Business endorsement and Employment Services endorsement (employment agency,  employment paid personnel services, and employment counseling).

Through the end of September 2021, for the Biennial Report Forgiveness Program (for entities with 50 or fewer employees) no late fees will be charged.

Through the end of Fiscal Year 2022, which ends September 30, 2022, DCRA will not be charging for application and examination fees for occupational and professional licenses. All occupational and professional license and renewal fees are reduced to $99 dollars (unless fees are lower already)

We apologize for the inconvenience.
