Fee Report

About the Fee Report & Process

Purpose

North Carolina General Statute 143C-9-4 mandates that state organizations submit a complete report of all funds received for the use of a property, the provision of a service, or the exercise of a regulated privilege.

The term “agency” refers to these types of organizations: state agencies, boards, or commissions.

Note: Universities were previously included in the annual Fee Report but, starting in FY 2021-22, have been removed from scope for this reporting based on 143C-9-4.

The Fee Report is currently compiled annually, as it is easier for agencies to provide data for the most recent fiscal year.

Process

To compile the report, a data query is pulled from the North Carolina Financial System (NCFS) by Budget Code, Budget Fund, and Account Number. Agencies are asked to inspect the data and add additional fields to describe each fee. In some cases, multiple fees are held within the same Budget Code / Budget Fund / Account Number combination and must be split out.

Only a small number of Boards and Commissions use the NCFS system for their accounting. Boards and Commissions that do not report to NCFS will not have the Budget Codes, Budget Fund, or Account Number fields.

Fees without an amount or number of collections are generally accompanied with a comment explaining the absence of information.

For additional information about any fee listed, please contact the agency directly.

Fee Type Mapping

To create a rollup for easier reporting and analysis, Fees are mapped into a Fee Type category based on a range of NCAS Account Codes.
