Submission of Application Fee

  • Credit Card. Maine DEP can accept online credit card payments through a Credit Card Payment Portal. Please note: The portal can only accept credit card payments of $1,000 or less; however, there is no limit on payments by electronic check. Also, the servicer of the portal charges a $2 transaction fee. See the Payment Portal for more details. Pay the fee prior to filing and include confirmation of credit card payment with email submission of your NOITC.
  • Check. If you prefer to pay by check: complete the Check Processing Form, include the completed form with the email submission of your NOITC, and follow the instructions on the form for submitting payment of the fee by check.
