Where else the schedule bites

The same published schedule carries several other figures a board or its counsel will meet:

A new Preservation Plan category under GBL § 352-eeeee is priced identically to a full offering plan: “0.4% of total offering price with $750 minimum for total offering price under $250,000 and $60,000 maximum fee.”

GBL § 352-g exemptions — the policy statements P.S. 100, 101 and 102 — run at “0.2% of total offering price with $750 minimum...and $60,000 maximum fee.”

Form M-2 salesperson statement: $150 for four years. Form M-10 broker-dealer: “$300, plus $15 per signatory, for four years.”

Filing fees remain waived for offerings funded under Private Housing Finance Law Articles 18, 19 or 20, per a separate affordable-housing memorandum still posted from 2009.

Why this shows up in a board's budget

Three ways, in descending order of likelihood.

A plan restatement or a series of amendments. An association whose offering plan has drifted — because the sponsor changed, because a schedule needs correcting, because the plan and the recorded documents no longer agree — faces $750 per amendment on top of counsel's time. A board that has been deferring housekeeping amendments should re-baseline the cost before deciding to do them in one batch or not at all.

A CPS filing. If your association operates on a CPS-7 or similar cooperative policy statement route, every application and every extension is now a $750 line item.

A sponsor's costs landing in Schedule B. For a new condominium or homeowners association whose total offering price exceeds roughly $15 million, the sponsor's filing cost doubles. Sponsors build filing costs into their pro formas and their first-year budgets, and Schedule B is where a purchaser eventually sees the consequence. Our budget approval page covers how that first budget is set.

One thing to know about the source

The fee figures above come from the Attorney General's own published HTML fee schedule, which is the authoritative current statement. We fetched the underlying October 30, 2025 memorandum successfully but could not extract its body text — the PDF uses a subset-embedded font with a custom encoding — so we read only its cover block confirming the issue and effective dates. If a precise quotation from the memorandum itself matters to a filing, get it from the Bureau rather than from a summary.

This is one of three changes that landed together

The fee increase arrived in the same period as two procedural changes to how filings are made, both effective January 7, 2026. Paper is no longer an option for CPS applications, preservation statement applications, or Forms M-2, M-3, M-4 and M-10 — all must go through the Bureau's new eSubmission Portal. And the Bureau dropped its longstanding requirements for original documents, wet-ink signatures and in-person notarization, expressly citing the regulation that governs homeowners associations among others.

Taken together, the practical position for a New York association's counsel from January 2026 is: filings cost more, must be electronic for the categories that matter most to associations, and no longer require a notary in a room. Our New York governing statute page covers the offering-plan regime these filings sit inside, and our records inspection page covers what owners can see of them.

What to do

Ask your counsel for a schedule of any anticipated Real Estate Finance Bureau filings over the next two budget years, priced at the current fees. It is a small number in most associations and a surprising one in a few — particularly any association in the middle of a sponsor transition, a plan restatement, or a governing-document amendment programme that requires Bureau filings to accompany it.
