Seattle 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.
