When are fees assessed?
If you are submitting Part 2 of the application, a preliminary processing fee of $250 is charged, except for projects for which rehabilitation costs are under $20,000. Upon completion of the work and submittal of the Request for Certification of Completed Work (Part 3), another fee is charged based on the actual rehabilitation cost and is assessed in accordance with the fee schedule. At the Part 3 stage, you will be billed the amount above minus the $250 previously paid at the Part 2.
The NPS cannot review your application until the fee is paid. The fee is payable by check or credit card.
Submitting a completed Fee Payment by Credit Card form will expedite processing of your application. Please note that NPS will not hold payment paperwork submitted with the Part 2 application. Therefore, you must submit a separate payment form for the Part 3.
If you do not submit the credit card payment form with the application, the NPS will send you a bill when your application is received from the State Historic Preservation Office. Do not send a check with the application – wait until you receive the bill from the NPS.
