Renew business licenses to avoid citations

Submitted by the Town of Friday Harbor

The Town of Friday Harbor wants to thank all businesses that were prompt in renewing their business licenses for year 2017/18.

We are now a month into the new business license year and the town is auditing its records to determine who is no longer doing business in town or may be operating without a license.

The town is currently inactivating all accounts that were not renewed for the 2017/18 license year. This week, the town code enforcement officer will be issuing citations to those businesses who are known to be conducting business without a license. This is a Class IV civil infraction.

Unlicensed businesses are urged to avoid this unpleasant action by renewing their license or contacting the town to make arrangements.

If you have questions or concerns regarding your business license, please contact the town clerk at 378-2810. For more information regarding the business licensing program, see Friday Harbor Municipal Code Chapter 5.04.
