Facilities subject to Title V of the federal Clean Air Act must submit 2023 emissions fees by July 1, 2024. The Title V air emissions fee for calendar year 2023 is $70.00 per ton. The DNR provides two options for payment of the Title V Emissions Fee.
Electronic Payment
Facilities may pay online via the Payment Portal at https://programs.iowadnr.gov/payments. The amount of fees due may be retrieved by searching by the emission inventory questionnaire (EIQ) number, facility identification number, or facility name as it appears in the State and Local Emissions Inventory System (SLEIS). No login is required and no additional paperwork is required.
The fees can be paid by credit/debit card or electronic check. A service charge of $1.50 will be charged to all payments. Credit/debit card transactions will have an additional 2.5% fee applied. DNR accepts the following credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.
Payment by Mail
Payments may be mailed to the DNR. A print of the SLEIS Form 5.0 must be attached. More information on accessing SLEIS is on the eAirServices page. The mailing address is:

Is your facility subject to Title V?
