Any business or person conducting business in the City of Tualatin is required to obtain a business license unless specifically exempt by State or Federal statute.

Drop-off or mail completed business licenses to the City Offices/Council Building at 18880 SW Martinazzi Avenue Tualatin, OR 97062.

The licensing fee is based on the number of employees at the Tualatin location including both part-time and full-time employees as well as the owner. The rates are as follows:

    1-2 Employees: $55.00
    3-10 Employees: $60.00
    11-50 Employees: $120.00
    Over 50 Employees: $240.00

The License year is from January 1st to December 31st and is renewable annually. For a new business starting after July 1st, the fee is one half of the above amounts and would then be renewable the following January.

Once the completed application and payment are received, the license goes to the Building and Planning departments for approval. The license is usually processed and mailed within a two-week period.
