Increased Licensing Fees

House Bill 2462 (HB), which was passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, has given the Department of Health Services (Department) the authority to raise licensing fees. Additionally this HB exempts the Department from the rule making requirements of ARS Title 41, Chapter 6 requiring public input and approval by the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council. You can find a copy of this HB by going to www.azleg.gov and search for HB 2462.

As you may know, the Department of Health Services Division of Licensing Services (Division) has not increased licensing fees since 1973. Therefore, in an effort to implement this increase in a fair and equitable manner, the Division has decided to increase the licensed bed capacity fees from $10.00 per bed to $25.00 per bed. At this point, the base fee(s) and the application fee will remain the same.

The effective date of this increase begins with licenses that expire on September 30, 2008 and each month thereafter. If you have already submitted your application and fees for licenses that expire on September 30, 2008 forward, the Division will be sending you a notice to remit the additional $15.00 per licensed bed capacity. It will be necessary to remit this balance before the Division is able to process your application and issue your license.

For applications that have not yet been sent in, and are for the period of September 30, 2008 forward, you will be asked to remit the proper application fee, base fee(s) and new licensed bed capacity fee (of $25.00 per bed), before the Division can process your application and issue your license.
