Higher yearly fees for cannabis businesses

Beginning June 11, 2026, Washington cannabis producers, processors, and retailers pay $1,781 per license for annual issuance or renewal. That is $400 more than the previous $1,381 fee. The separate application fee stays at $250. Each business location needs its own license, so businesses with multiple locations pay the higher fee for each license.
