How much does it cost to get a water right permit?
• Getting a water right permit is expensive. We assess a water right application fee based on how much water you want permission to divert. The water right application fee is revised each year depending on the Division’s budget, which is determined by the Governor and the Legislature. The minimum application fee is currently $1000.
