Upcoming fee increase
July 2, 2026
The Department of Licensing (DOL) is required to regularly review revenues and expenditure for services offered and establish fees at levels sufficient to cover the costs of providing and administering those services. This annual review has been completed, and it has been determined that fee adjustments are necessary to maintain the long-term financial stability of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) service. Fee increases will take effect on January 1, 2027.
Service fees support a variety of department functions, including processing requests, maintaining records, providing customer service, supporting information technology systems, and carrying out other necessary administrative responsibilities.
DOL will begin the formal rulemaking process related to fee adjustments on July 1, 2026. Information about the revised fee schedule will be provided before January 1, 2027.
