Licensing Question - Yearly Licensing Fee?

[satcook]

In KS, we have to pay $85 for the state fee, $87 for group homes. That is yearly. Then, we have to pay our county a fee as well. My county's fee is $65. We have to have 5 hours of training to renew.

As far as subsidy, the rate is $2/hr regardless of age of children or a provider's education. We can charge parents the difference between our rates and the subsidy rate though. I just don't contract with the state because it's like pulling teeth to get parents to pay their portion.

I'm the director of a center in Kansas. We have to pay the state $75.00 + $1.00 per child. We are licensed for 78 so we pay $153.00. When the county comes out to inspect they charge us an additional $230.00. If they come out for any additional inspections (to approve room change, complaints, etc.) we are charged another fee.

$25 for annual licensing fee.
$60 every other year for a kitchen inspection.
20 hours training per year with 10 being face to face in a classroom setting.

State pay has just been increased as of next month.
$500 newborn to 2 yrs
$493 2 yrs
$480 3 yr olds
$462 4 yr olds
$450 5 yr olds
$389 6-13 year olds

That's the max the state will pay. We can charge what we like and the parent has to make up any difference.

My city business license is currently $25, but may be raised to $150 next year yes....I had something to say to my city leaders about THAT one!!!
