Authorization To Adopt Amendments To Dakota County 2025 Fee Schedule
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize amendments to the 2025 Dakota County fee schedule.
SUMMARY
Social Services recommends that the County Board adopt amendments to the fee schedules for 2025 to include Family Child Care licensing fees. The County Board adopted the 2025 Fee Schedule by Resolution No. 24-503 (October 29, 2024).
The authority to collect licensing fees for Family Child Care licenses is delegated to the counties under Minnesota Statutes, section 142B.12. In 2023, the legislature appropriated funding to cover licensing fees for family child care providers for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. This period will come to an end on June 30, 2025. Previous communication from the Minnesota Department of Health (DHS) stated that from July 1, 2025, licensing fees would be collected by DHS through a centralized child care provider hub. Due to changes in the timeline for the rollout of the hub, DHS has recently informed counties that they will need to resume collecting fees for new applicants starting July 1, 2025. Later this year, counties will also need to collect licensing fees for providers to renew their licenses on January 1, 2026.
Social Services recommends that the fee schedule be modified to add the following:
Family Child Care Licensing:
New Inspection (for one-year license): $50
Inspection Renewal (for two-year license): $100
