When are the annual fees due, and is there any grace period or penalties for late payment?
Fees are due each year on or before July 1st. You should receive a bill in May, but if for any reason you do not receive it, the fees are still due at this time. You may contact the DOT for billing information if you have any questions. If fees are received after July 1st, then a new application and $100 application fee should accompany your payment. For areas where service panels are full, late payment will result in the loss of a spot on the sign, and a lottery drawing will follow. The department does not assess late fees. However, if logos are removed after July 1st, before payment is received, you will be assessed removal fees and reinstallation fees of $50 per sign, per service trip.
