Section R4-10-103. Payment of Fees

A.      A fee is not considered paid until the Board receives the amount required. The Board shall not provide services, admin- ister examinations, or issue certifications or licenses until it receives the required fee.

B.       The Board shall accept personal checks only for license renewals. If a check for a license renewal is returned because it is dishonored for any reason including insufficient funds, the renewal application is incomplete, and any license renewal that has been issued is void effective the date the Board mails written notice to the licensee that the license is void.

C.      An applicant or licensee whose fee payment to the Board is dishonored for any reason including an insufficient funds check is not entitled to a further service, examination, certifi- cation, or license until the Board receives the following:

1.        The amount of the fee for which the payment was dishon- ored;

2.        The penalty provided in R4-10-102(21);

3.        If applicable, the delinquent fee for each year or part of a year the license was inactive for the type of license to be renewed.

D.      Fees are nonrefundable except if A.R.S. § 41-1077 applies.

E.       The Board shall not refund fees tendered for $5.00 or less over the amount specified in R4-10-102, except the Board shall refund fees paid over the amount specified as the maximum fee in A.R.S. § 32-507.
