Fee Types
Overview
Fee Types are used to generate periodic fees for permits:
Fee types get linked to permits by internal processors when crafting new or revised permits.
Fee types determine the fee sent out to permittees when periodic fees are generated, configured via Annual Invoice Fees (used to change annual fees from period to period), or based on a custom fee calculation stored procedure.
As fee types are the link between individual permit records and the invoice generation scheme, they ultimately determine which fee amount gets generated for a given permit. Fee types can be configured to be automatically added to a given permit based on Permit Category configuration or Permit Type configuration. Additionally, if a permit is revised, any fee types associated to the prior permit version are automatically added to the newly created permit version.
