About each permit
Veterinary Facility License
$195 to license the facility and $170 a year to renew it — an obligation on the premises that sits entirely apart from the licenses held by the vets working there, and one that neighbouring Virginia and Maryland handle differently. Any facility providing any aspect of veterinary medical care needs it. Note where it comes from: DC Health under the animal facilities regulations, not the Board of Veterinary Examiners, whose fee schedule covers individuals only and lists no facility fee at all.
