State law requires regulated utility and transportation companies to file annual reports and pay regulatory fees to The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC). If you operated at any time during the reporting year, you are required to file an annual report.

A complete annual report and regulatory fees must be received by the UTC no later than May 1 each year. Postmarked dates are not considered the date received. It is strongly recommended to file online in order to receive an email notification of receipt or use a mail delivery service with a delivery confirmation.

For more information about the annual reporting process and requirements, please email annualreports@utc.wa.gov.
