There's a WAC for That!
#1 Citation From RCS Inspections
Are you aware of the top 10 citations from RCS inspections this winter quarter of 2025? The number one citation currently is the annual licensing fee; not only will this be a citation, but also a STOP placement (until paid) and possibly a hefty fine. Your licensing fee is due EVERY YEAR the month you were licensed by the 15th day. Example: If you are licensed June 27th, 2023, your licensing fee will be due this year by June 15th, 2025.
