Taxicab Regulation
In August 2008, by a 7-0 vote, the Seattle City Council approved Ordinance 122763, which amended the portion of
Seattle's municipal code governing taxicabs and for-hire vehicles. The code, in part, requires the Department of
Executive Administration - the City department responsible for taxi regulation in Seattle - establish rules to
provide the details regarding the implementation of the taxicab code.

Business Tax Filing
The Seattle Electronic Filing system (SELF) allows businesses to file their City taxes,
update their business profile, renew their business license and make electronic
payment.

Vendor and Contractor Registration
The City of Seattle has launched its new web-based Vendor and Contractor Registration
(VCR) program. If you are currently doing business with the City or are interested in
future opportunities, this on-line registration program will allow you to register your
company on the City's website by specifying your company's contact information and
available goods and/or services.
The VCR system will assist City departments in soliciting businesses interested in working
for the City. The City encourages women- and minority-owned businesses to register and to
participate in City bidding and proposal opportunities. The registration system allows
businesses to designate whether your company is a State certified woman or minority owned
business (WMBE) or to self-identify your company as owned by women or minorities.
For questions, contact us by email at Vendor-Registration@seattle.gov
or call us at (206) 684-0444 or (206) 684-0430. |
