Late Registration Fee

WARNING! Late Registration Fees Add Up!

The law sets a $25.00 per month late fee for each month the registration is late for a charitable organization or professional fundraiser that does not file its registration or renewal on time. An organization cannot be properly registered until both the registration fee and late fee(s) are paid.

Do not place your organization in jeopardy! File registration and renewal applications promptly.
