How are funds to be accounted for and paid to the State Comptrollers Office and when?
The law requires the County/billing authority establish a “segregated account” for the deposit of funds collected. For record keeping purposes, the accounting system should be set up to identify the BRF fee billed and collected. The BRF Fee is due to the State Comptroller on or before the 20th day of the month that follows the calendar quarter in which the Fee is collected. The State Comptroller’s Office will provide Counties the Maryland Bay Restoration Fee Report Form (BRF-1) with instructions. Note: When funds are deposited with the State Comptroller’s Office, the source of BRF Septic Fees will need to be identified on line-2 as fee from Users of Septic/Holding Tank Systems.
