For more information on home occupation requirements, contact the city directly. Small scale home occupation businesses that are accessory to the main residential use and fit the definition of WMC 21.30.040 are required to obtain a city business endorsement and fill out a supplemental home business questionnaire. There is no additional cost for Home Occupation Permits. Home occupation businesses pay the same annual fee as the general business license.
More involved home operations are referred to as “home industry” and are defined by WMC 21.30.050. If you have a business in your home or on your personal property that fits this definition, in addition to a city business endorsement you are required to fill a supplemental home business questionnaire and obtain a separate Home Industry Permit. The $104 fee is collected by the city.
Supplemental home business questionnaires can be emailed to the city at planning@ci.woodinville.wa.us or mailed to:
