117.3 Penalties and Fees for Late Renewal

Failure to timely render payment of fees for any certificate, permit or other approval issued by the commissioner, or service provided by the department, shall be sufficient grounds for denial of a certificate, permit or other approval or service, or renewal thereof. Fees for late renewal shall be in accordance with FC 117.3.1 through 117.3.2.2.

In addition to the payment of the renewal fee, any applicant renewing a certificate more than 90 calendar days but less than 1 year after its expiration date shall be subject to a late filing charge of 50 percent of the renewal fee or twenty-five dollars, whichever is greater.

Fees for late permit renewal shall be in accordance with FC 117.3.2.1 and 117.3.2.2, except the commissioner may waive the payment of late filing fees or prior annual fees, or both, upon a determination that the late renewal was caused by circumstances beyond the control of the applicant.

In addition to the payment of the renewal fee, any applicant renewing a permit more than 90 calendar days but less than 1 year after its expiration date shall be subject to a late filing charge of 50 percent of the renewal fee.

In addition to the payment of the renewal fee, any applicant renewing a permit later than 1 year after its expiration date shall be subject to a late filing charge of 100 percent of the renewal fee. Such applicant shall be liable also for all the annual fees which should have been paid from the date on which the permit expired to the date on which such permit was renewed.

All fees for services rendered by the department, including inspections and witnessing of tests, shall be paid within 30 calendar days of receipt of the bill therefor. Any disputes regarding such bill shall be submitted in writing within 20 calendar days of the date of receipt thereof. Failure to timely remit payment shall subject the owner or other person receiving such service to be additionally liable to the department for interest on the compensation due and owing to the department. Such interest shall be computed for the period from the date of the bill to the date of payment, based on the amount of the bill and the rate of interest set forth in Section 5004 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules.
