DCRA Adds Technology Fee to Permit, Business License Charges
On June 1, the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) began adding a 10% service enhancement fee on all business licenses, building permits and other services to cover the costs of enhanced technological capabilities. If you are paying for services at DCRA, the total will be added to your bill and may be paid at the Cashier. If you are mailing your application, the 10% fee should be added to your total. The additional fee was included in two Emergency Rulemakings published in the DC Register on May 28, 2010. Copies of both, which include complete lists of fees affected, are available here:
