(b) In accordance with the applicable application checklist, personal check, certified check, attorney check, government purchase order, or money order shall pay all fees.

(c) An application fee is refundable if the Department returns the application as administratively incomplete under 7:38-11.2 or 11.3. An application fee is not refundable once the application has been declared administratively complete.

(d) In some cases, an applicant's act or omission makes it necessary for Department staff to perform more than one site visit during the review of an application. In such a case, the Department shall assess an additional fee of up to $ 1,000 for each additional site visit. No HRAD or HPAA shall be issued until the fee has been paid.
