Title V Fees

Title V Annual Emissions Fee Information

All Title V facilities must pay annual emissions fees pursuant to Section 403.0872(11), Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Rule 62-213.205, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Like AORs, Title V emissions fee payments are due by April 1. It’s strongly encouraged to complete AORs early enough to be able to submit the emissions fee payment by this deadline. Owners or operators should ensure emissions fees are calculated correctly to avoid the need to issue refunds or underpayment notices that may include late penalty assessments. 

eAOR Calculation of Title V Annual Emissions Fees

The annual Title V emissions fees are automatically calculated based on emissions reported for “marked” pollutants in the electronic Annual Operating Report (eAOR) and an invoice is generated upon submission of the AOR. The emissions of all regulated pollutants must be reported in eAOR, but only pollutants that have a numerical emissions limit or emissions cap (“marked” pollutants) in the permit will have applicable emissions fees assessed. Marked pollutants will be designated with an asterisk in eAOR (for example: *PM). The Title V emissions fee factor on marked pollutants is set at $30 per ton in accordance with Rule 62-213.205, F.A.C. 

It is important to check that each regulated pollutant is correctly “marked” in eAOR prior to completing a submission. If pollutants are not correctly marked, then please contact us as soon as possible before submitting your AOR by phone at: 850-717-9000 or at EAOR@FloridaDEP.gov.

Penalty and Interest Fees

If your Title V emissions fee payment is not received by April 1, the Department shall impose, in addition to the emissions fee, a penalty of 50% of the amount of the unpaid fee, plus interest on such amount. The interest rate for unpaid fees is determined pursuant to Section 55.03(1), F.S., which is subject to change on a quarterly basis. Please refer to Florida's Chief Financial Officer for the applicable current or historical Judgment interest rates.

Title V Fee Payment Methods

Two methods of payment are currently available. However, we are in the process of implementing a new method for paying fees online via credit card in the DEP Business Portal. We will update this webpage once that method is available.

• If paying by check, send the invoice generated from eAOR and check by regular or certified mail to the following address. It is very important to include the Fee Invoice with payments to avoid delays in payment processing. Make checks payable to Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Technical or Financial Hardship

Because the Title V Annual Emissions Fees are automatically calculated by the eAOR system, each Title V source must submit their AOR using eAOR, unless the Title V source claims a technical or financial hardship. Please contact the AOR Coordinator at EAOR@FloridaDEP.gov if you need to claim a hardship from using the eAOR system.

If you have any questions regarding AORs or TV emissions fees, please contact the AOR Coordinator at 850-717-9000 or EAOR@FloridaDEP.gov.
