An application for each location must be filed on forms provided by the business licensing system established under chapter
19.02 RCW and must be accompanied by an annual fee of fifty dollars per location. The license expires on the business license expiration date.

(a) The name and address of licensee.
(b) Any other information required by the department by rule.
(3) The name and address shown on the license must be shown on all labels, pertinent invoices, and storage facilities for fertilizer distributed by the licensee in this state.
(4) If an application for license renewal provided for in this section is not filed prior to the business license expiration date, a delinquency fee of fifty dollars must be assessed and added to the original fee and must be paid by the applicant before the renewal license is issued.
