City of Yakima License Overview
The City of Yakima requires a City of Yakima Business License for all businesses operating within city limits. An important piece of the business license review process is checking to make sure the proposed business use is approved in that particular Zoning District. If you have questions about whether your proposed business is compatable with the current zoning of the property, please call the City of Yakima’s Planning Division at 575-6183.
There are other license (Regulatory License) requirements within the City of Yakima for specific kinds of businesses (Heating Journeyman, Secondhand Dealers, Pawn Brokers, Taxi Drivers, etc.).
