Those municipalities that have executed a coordinated assessment agreement, consolidated their assessing units or contracted with the county for all assessment services pursuant to section 579, 1602 or 1537 of the Real Property Tax Law are considered a single assessing unit for this purpose. The annual licensing fee shall be as follows:

1,001 - 2,000	$1,000
501 - 1,000	$ 850

In any county where the county coordinates the use of RPS by providing RPS processing or support services to the assessing unit, the county shall pay the annual fee for each city, town and assessing unit village which uses such system. This payment shall constitute full payment for all assessing units for which that county coordinates the use of RPS.

(c) In addition to the fees described in subdivision (b) of this section, the following shall be imposed:
1. (1) Where a county uses RPS to process data from municipalities not using RPS, the county will be charged an annual licensing fee for each such municipality processed. The annual licensing fee charged shall be equal to the lowest licensing fee listed in subdivision (b) of this section.
2. (2) School districts wishing to purchase RPS software will be charged an annual licensing fee equal to the lowest licensing fee listed in subdivision (b) of this section.
3. (3) Anyone wishing to purchase RPS for purposes other than those described above will be charged $2,500 (per version) for the initial purchase of the software and will be charged an annual license fee equal to the highest annual licensing fee listed in subdivision (b) of this section except as provided in subdivision (d) of this section.
(d) A vendor who has a processing agreement in effect with a municipality who is paying a licensing fee for the use of RPS may install RPS at a site other than the municipal processing site for purposes of completing required work for that municipality at no additional charge upon authorization by the municipality.
(e) Payment of the licensing fee shall provide for the use of any or all of the available RPS software. No partial payment of the licensing fee will be accepted.
(f) In addition to the annual fee prescribed in subdivision (b) of this section, ORPTS shall establish a fee schedule, for each State fiscal year, for computer and technical valuation processing services provided to local governments using RPS. This schedule shall also include costs of materials used in conjunction with the services provided. This schedule shall be established on or before June 1st of the preceding fiscal year.
(g) For the purposes of this section, the number of parcels upon which the RPS fees are based shall mean the number of parcels denoted as active or reactive on the latest final assessment roll available at the time the RPS annual fees are determined and the bills prepared.
