Funding Sources (Revenue and Expenditures)

The Office of Outfitters Registration within the Division of Registrations is cash funded from fees pursuant to Colorado statute. Fees are paid through registration costs.

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

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

The following table displays the amount of revenue generated and the amount of expenditures for fiscal years 05-06 and 06-07, and an estimate for fiscal year 07-08.

Trends

There has been an ongoing effort to increase awareness of the Office of Outfitters Registration Laws and Rules for persons who provide outfitting services
The office requires that every person and or entity providing outfitting services to be a registered outfitter, in which such registration may be renewed every calendar year.
Due to the growth in the economy, there has been an increase in the number of original applications filed. This trend is expected to continue.
Expanding consumer awareness of licensing laws has resulted in an increase in inquiries to the Board about the status of registered outfitters. This trend is expected to continue.
