permit fee

Authorization payment required

A permit fee is the charge paid to obtain official authorization for an activity—building construction, business operation, parking, or events.

Governments and institutions collect permit fees to cover administrative costs and regulate compliance: The permit fee for the food truck was $200 annually.

The term combines two words but functions as a single concept in bureaucratic and legal contexts.
