Bellevue has gone the next step with FileLocal!

Working together, the cities of Bellevue, Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma created FileLocal to simplify local business administration by allowing businesses to apply for and renew city licenses and calculate and file local taxes for multiple jurisdictions in one hassle-free secure website. The City of Bellevue has set up new computer Kiosks located by the Service First desk at Bellevue City Hall. These Kiosks allow businesses to apply for business licenses and file their tax returns for any of the four participating cities online using FileLocal. Outgoing phones have been set up by each terminal so businesses can contact FileLocal for any additional needs or assistance. This effort continues the City of Bellevue’s tradition of providing excellent customer service to the local business community. It is one more way the City of Bellevue and FileLocal are working to make the lives of local business owners easier.
