About each permit
Child Care Centre License
A centre's fee is a formula rather than a number — two dollars per licensed child capacity, so a sixty-child centre pays $120. Indiana Code section 12-17.2-2-2 lists every processing fee the division may charge, and that list names no license fee for a child care home: a home's only listed charges are an application packet of up to $5 and an annual inspection fee of up to $25. Under sections 12-17.2-4-12 and 12-17.2-5-12 a centre's license lasts three years and a home's two. A registered child care ministry pays $100 in all — $50 to the division and $50 to the state fire marshal, each for processing its registration. The statute says the division may charge the centre fee rather than must, so ask the division what it currently collects when applying.
