I had a few requests today at work for clarifications on LEED fees, presumably because they're a little hard to find or that they require 3-4 clicks to get to from the main website and my coworkers are lazy (just kidding... please don't fire me!)
Perhaps an unfair picture for this post, but then again...
As a result, I thought all you LEED power users might appreciate a post that will link directly to fees for every rating system. In each case, fees all versions of the rating system are indicated:
- LEED New Construction
- LEED for Schools
- LEED for Core and Shell (includes fees for LEED-CS Precertification)
- LEED for Commercial Interiors
- LEED for Existing Buildings, Operations and Maintenance (includes fees for recertification)
- LEED for Neighborhood Development (includes fees for all review stages)
- LEED for Homes (does not include fees for LEED Provider or Green Rater)
- LEED Green Associate Exam (includes Credentialing Maintenance costs)
- LEED Accredited Professional Exam (includes all specialties and Credentialing Maintenance costs)
- LEED for Homes Green Rater Exam
So that's that, and I hope it makes you're life slightly easier... If any of these links break please let me know by leaving a comment!

Thanks, Joel! While I was cursing the frustrating architecture of the GBCI info on fees, you were doing something about it—as we've come to expect from RLL.

I just spent WAY too long looking for this information. Thought I'd check RLL - and lo-and-behold you came through again!
Thank you.
I spent the better part of a day trying to figure out fees paid to the USGBC for a LEED-ND project.
Though your links are useful in getting you to the information, I believe it would be useful if they would translate their info into English. (does first stage and preliminary mean the same thing?)
Maybe I'm just getting to old for this!
Thanks for your post!
I went over there and tried to find it without your links, and I do think it was a little harder to find than it should have been, but I did find the info within 5 minutes.
LEED certification is obtained after submitting an application documenting compliance with the requirements of the rating system as well as paying registration and certification fees. Certification is granted solely by the green building Certification Institute, which is responsible for the third party verification of project compliance with LEED requirements. Thanks.
How long does it take to get the LEED certification?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure, but I'd like to know this myself!
