How to Pay Fees

You can only pay fees online using a credit card. If you need to pay by check, see How do I Pay by Check?

If you need somebody else to pay all fees, add them as a contact when you are creating your application. For some records, such as applications with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, you do not need to be logged in to pay fees.
