What happens to the fees for continuations of licenses once they are paid?

The correct understanding is that once fees for continuations of licenses are paid, they are deemed earned and are not subject to refund. This means that once the payment is processed for the renewal of an independent adjuster license in Idaho, that fee is considered final revenue for the issuing authority, and regardless of the circumstances, the licensee cannot expect those fees to be returned if they decide not to renew or if they change their mind after the payment.

This policy helps to ensure that the administrative costs associated with processing and maintaining licenses are covered, supporting the regulatory framework. It also encourages licensed adjusters to be deliberate about their decisions, as once the payment is made, it secures the license for the specified duration without the possibility of reimbursement.
