Registration and certification fees

Registration is a flat fee paid upfront at the time of registration; rates are based on the fee schedule published at the time of registration. The certification fee is based on your project's rating system and size; it is calculated and paid when the project team submits documentation for review in LEED Online (either in LEED Online or through Arc). The fees cover both the preliminary and final reviews for either review path (standard or split review).

What is included with your LEED fees?

  • Integration and access to the Arc platform: all projects in LEED Online have automatic access to Arc at no additional cost; simply and link to your project.
  • A dedicated LEED Coach: newly registered projects have access to a dedicated LEED Coach upon request. LEED Coaches have more than a decade of green building and LEED expertise and can assist with questions during your LEED certification process.
  • Award-winning customer service: our customer service team has received 13 awards since 2013, including 鈥淐ustomer Service Team of the Year鈥 from the American Business Awards and the International Business Awards.
