The District charges permit fees to cover the costs of reviewing applications, issuing permits and ensuring compliance. Different fees apply to different types of permits and equipment. These fees are described below:

Application Fee: This fee is based on the number, types, and sizes or capacities of proposed equipment. It covers the cost of technical review of the application, the post-construction inspection and issuance of a Permit to Operate. For complex projects the fees may be increased to cover the additional time necessary to evaluate the application, issue the permit, and the cost of outside contractors. The District sends out a bill for each application upon completion of the initial review.

Annual Permit Fee: This fee is based on the type of equipment, complexity and size of the facility’s operation. For most businesses, permits are reviewed every year and modified as necessary. A facility’s annual permit fee is determined from adopted fee schedules. This fee covers the permit review and compliance inspections.

Permit holders who don’t submit requested information or pay the annual renewal fee will have their Permits to Operate revoked. Operating without a permit is a violation of District rules and state law and involves serious penalties.
