[WSBARP] City tax on real estate sales

[Douglas W. Scott]

I represent a real estate company outside of Tacoma.  Tacoma saw a For Sale sign from my client within their city limits and has said that all persons that engage in business in Tacoma must apply for a city business license. I imagine that in addition to a fee for this license they will want to charge a city tax on whatever commissions are derived from a real estate sale. My client has no office within Tacoma. Can Tacoma do that?
