Payments and city accounts
Seattle.netUse the payments page if the problem is really account access or online payment routing rather than records alone.

Permits and licenses
Seattle.netPermit choice, city paperwork, and project pages — when the task is more than records lookup.
Payments and city accounts
Seattle.netOnline payments, city-account routing, and mixed account access across city services.
Business and tax basics
