Veterinary Facility Registration — Washington Licenses Practitioners Only

No fee applies. The veterinary fee rule, WAC 246-933-990, lists only individual credentials — initial license, jurisprudence exam, specialty license, temporary permit, renewal, late penalty — and no premises registration. The enabling statute enumerates six fees and all six attach to a person. Yet the rules do define a veterinary medical facility and impose real construction, ventilation, lighting, sanitation, waste disposal and drug storage standards on it — Washington regulates the premises through the veterinarian's license rather than by licensing the building. One entity-level registration does exist and is a different thing: a non-profit humane society or animal care and control agency providing veterinary services to low-income households must register.
