As of December 31, 2008, the District of Columbia began requiring that all businesses which pay business taxes have a valid District of Columbia Basic Business License (BBL). This will be enforced under the Business Licensing Processing Adjustment Act of 2008 passed by the DC Council.
An estimated 10,000 previously unlicensed businesses will be required to obtain a General Business License.
The introduction of the new license will allow the District government to identify businesses now subject to licensure and take enforcement action against businesses operating without a license in the District. This will prevent illegal business from negatively influencing legitimate commerce and protect consumers in the District from poor business practices.
DCRA has created a comprehensive information center where you can retrieve all the information you need including requirements, deadlines, fees and application and exemption request materials. You can contact the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs for further information.
