Rule 661-276.4 - Application and fees

(1)Application. Any person seeking licensure as a fire protection system technician shall submit a completed application form to the department. The application shall be filed no later than 30 days prior to the date of beginning work in this state or the date on which an existing license expires. An application form may be obtained from the department or from the department's website. The application form shall be submitted with all required attachments and license fee. An application is not complete unless all required information is submitted, including required attachments and fees, and will not be processed until it is complete.

(2)License fee.

a. The fee for a permanent or provisional license, except for a trainee license, is $200. If an application for a license provides for more than one endorsement as provided in subrule 276.1(2), there will be an additional fee of $25 for each endorsement beyond the first.

b. The fee for a fire protection system technician trainee license is $100.

c. The department will waive any fee charged to an applicant for a license if the applicant's household income does not exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines and the applicant is applying for the license for the first time in this state.

(3)Payment. The license fee shall be submitted electronically, or mailed or hand-delivered by draft, check, or money order in the applicable amount payable to the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing. Cash payments are not accepted.

(4)Amended license.

a. The fee for issuance of an amended license is the difference between the original license fee paid and changes in endorsement(s), if applicable. The fee shall be submitted with a request for an amended license.

b. A licensee will request and the department will issue an amended license for any of the following reasons, and a fee does not apply:

(1) A change in employer. A licensee may only transfer the licensee's technician license to another employer if the licensee paid the license fee at the time of original application. If the licensee's previous employer paid the license fee, the licensee must reapply for a new license under the licensee's new employer and pay the license fee.

(2) A change in any other material information included in or with the initial or renewal application. A change of address is a material change.

c. Other changes in the information required in the application form, including renewal of insurance coverage with a new expiration date, shall be reported to the department but will not require issuance of an amended license or payment of the amended license fee.

(5)Attachments. Required attachments to the application for a license are outlined on the department's website.
