About each permit
Animal Business License — Pet Shop, Grooming Parlor, Kennel, Boarding Facility
Snohomish County Animal Services 'licenses and inspects animal shelters, commercial kennels, boarding facilities, grooming parlors, pet shops, and any combination of these types of businesses,' according to its Kennel and Animal Business License Fees page, and those licenses 'must be renewed annually.' A pet shop pays $200 a year. A grooming parlor pays $200 as a single business type, or $50 when it is part of a combination license. A commercial boarding kennel is priced by number of runs ($200 for 1 to 15, $250 for 16 to 20, $300 for 21 or more), a commercial non-boarding kennel by number of dogs on the same tiers, and an animal shelter pays $300. These are the amounts printed on the county's fee page. The page also lists a combination license for a business that runs more than one of these types. The fee page does not say which parts of the county the license covers; a business inside a city should ask Snohomish County Animal Services whether its location falls under the county license or a city programme before applying.
