A license application under s. ATCP 16.06 shall include all of the following nonrefundable fees and surcharges, as applicable:

1. (1) A license fee of $250 for each animal shelter or animal control facility that the applicant may operate during the license year. If the applicant operates a combined animal shelter and animal control facility at the same location, the $250 fee for that location covers the combined operations.

2. (2) The following fee based on the number of dog sales reported under s. ATCP 16.06 (6):

   1. (a) $550 if the number is at least 25 but less than 50.
   2. (b) $1,100 if the number is at least 50 but less than 100.
   3. (c) $1,650 if the number is at least 100 but less than 250.

   4. (d) $2,200 if the number is at least 250.

      Note: The fee under sub. (2) is based on the total number of dogs sold by the applicant, regardless of the number of locations from which the applicant makes those sales.

3. (3) If the applicant is an out-of-state dog seller, a fee that is 150 percent of the fee calculated under sub. (2).
4. (4) A late renewal surcharge equal to 20 percent of all applicable license fees required under subs. (1) to (3) if the applicant seeks to renew a license after that license has expired.

5. (5) A surcharge equal to the total of all applicable license fees required under subs. (1) to (3) if the department determines that any of the following apply:

   1. (a) Within 365 days prior to submitting the license application, the applicant operated without a license required under s. ATCP 16.02 (1).

   2. (b) The applicant knowingly misrepresented information in the applicant’s license application for the preceding license year, in order to avoid payment of any required license fees.

      Note: A surcharge payment under sub. (5) does not relieve the applicant of any other penalties or liabilities that the applicant may incur as a result of any act or omission under sub. (5), but does not constitute evidence of a law violation.

6. (6) Any unpaid reinspection fee properly charged under s. ATCP 16.12 (6).
