$4,358.66Our arithmetic

Our arithmetic: $2,720.30 initial fee + $1,638.36 first renewal = $4,358.66. Class B, no branches or workstations, under 50 admissions, at the 2026/27 fees. The statute raises the fees 6% a year to 2028-29, so a renewal on a later schedule costs more.

$150

The annual fee is due October 1 to December 31; DCH’s fee page adds a $150 late fee on January 1, and the fee rule lists $150 per instance at 60 days past due. DCH may revoke a license if annual fees go unpaid 60 days after a written invoice.

Only an employee bond, if staff handle client funds

Any employee with unlimited access to a client’s personal funds for home management must be bonded through the provider; the rule sets no amount. If staff drive clients in a vehicle that is not the client’s, the provider gets the client’s signed waiver or makes reasonable efforts to make sure there is current motor vehicle insurance.

$800 to $1,050Our arithmetic

Our arithmetic: $300 application fee + $250 first license fee + $250 annual fee for the next calendar year = $800, or $1,050 with a further $250 annual fee for a third calendar year. One service category. Each annual fee covers a calendar year, and the first license fee covers only the rest of the year the license starts in. So unless the license starts on January 1, the fees covering the first 24 months include a third calendar year’s annual fee, billed October to December of the second year.
