Renewal fee: $85. Base timely-renewal fee for individual CPA/LPA certificates is $85 (April 15-June 30); a date-tiered schedule then rises to $185 if paid July 1-31 (license is involuntarily relinquished after August 1). Firm permits renew separately, on the same annual June 30 cycle, but at a distinct, much lower board-set fee: a flat $10, per the same board FAQ page's 'Need a firm permit?' section ('The firm permit fee is $10; contact the Board for application.'). Both individual and firm renewals share the same $100 late fee if not paid by June 30, and involuntary relinquishment if not paid by July 31. read the rule →
