Funding Sources (Revenue and Expenditures)

The Office of Barber and Cosmetologist Licensing is cash-funded from fees pursuant to Colorado statute. Fees are paid through licensure and registration costs. 

Fee amounts are established annually for the purpose of covering direct and indirect costs incurred by the Office for licensure, registration and enforcement.

Expenditures and revenues are not always equal. Revenue needs and fee amounts are based on estimated expenses and numbers of revenue payers. These estimates may vary from actual expenses and numbers of payers. Revenue collected that exceeds expenditures remains with the agency and is considered when calculating total revenue needed for the following year.
