Fees
There is no application processing fee for non-commercial applications.
We charge a processing fee for all other applications based on the time required to process your application and staff hourly charge-out rates. Complex applications cost more as they take longer to process. After you apply, we will assign your application to a processing category that reflects its complexity. Each category has a minimum processing fee.
Learn more about processing categories and minimum fees
If you seek pre-application advice, we can tell you the category and minimum processing fee that will most likely apply to your application. We will confirm your minimum processing fee once your application is accepted and assigned to a processing category. If we expect your processing fee to exceed the minimum fee, we will give you a non-binding fee estimate before processing begins.
We will usually invoice your fee after processing is complete. If you withdraw your application, you will be charged for any work already done.
If your application is approved, ongoing permission fees may apply.
