**When will I incur late fees?**

Late fees are incurred after a license has expired. A $250.00 late fee is applicable the day following the expiration date. The maximum late fee of $500.00 is applicable 31 days after the expiration date.

Though late fees do not continue to accrue after the maximum $500.00 late fee has been assessed, penalty fees do continue to accrue for every 2-year period a license is not maintained. The penalty equals the license category fee.

  

If you will cease the licensed business activity in the District, please submit a [Business License Cancellation](https://dcdcra.seamlessdocs.com/f/CancelBBL) request to notify the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.
