Which category has the highest two-year renewal fee?

• A. General
• B. Dwelling or Underground Fire Main
• C. General Inspector
• D. All categories are different

Answer: (A)

Renewal fees follow the level of responsibility and scope that a license covers. The general sprinkler license represents the broadest range of work and the highest level of oversight, so its two-year renewal fee is set higher to reflect that responsibility and the associated administrative costs. The other categories—such as specialized work for dwellings or underground mains or licenses for inspectors—have narrower scopes and different risk profiles, which typically result in lower renewal fees. Even though fees can vary across categories, the one tied to the broad, high-responsibility role is the largest, making the general category the highest two-year renewal fee.
