Billing & Recharge

Mail recharge consists of two components: a monthly mail processing fee and daily outgoing mail postage charges.

Monthly Processing Fee

The monthly processing fee is determined by the department’s average mail volume. Each fall, mail and parcel volume are physically measured for one month before delivery to establish the appropriate fee.

• • Base Fee: $175.00 per month for mail volume up to 1 linear foot.
  • Additional Volume: $90.00 per month for each additional foot of mail.
  • Oversized Package Delivery Fee: A $10.00 fee applies to any mail item that exceeds standard delivery size and requires transport to the department’s designated central delivery location, rather than the individual recipient’s workspace.

Daily Outgoing Mail Recharge

Departments are charged for the actual postage cost of outgoing mail, including letters, business reply mail, standard (bulk-permit) mail, and shipping services. A 20% surcharge is applied to cover handling and processing costs.
