Dry Cleaning Registration Fee

 A “dry cleaning facility” is a business that:

• engages in commercial cleaning of apparel and household fabrics for the general public
• uses one or more dry cleaning solvents as a cleaning agent (including nonaqueous solvents)

Revenue from this fee goes to the state Dry Cleaner Fund, which helps pay for environmental cleanup at contaminated dry cleaning facilities.

1. Add the total hours worked (employees, owners, partners or others at the facility) from July 1 of the previous year through June 30 of the current year.
2. Divide the number by 2,000 (the full-time equivalence or number of hours a full-time employee works in a year).  

You must file Form DC-1, Annual Registration Fee for Dry Cleaning Facilities, by October 1 and pay the fee by October 18 (or make quarterly electronic payments). See the instructions on the registration form for more information.
