Invoicing

Registration fee

Once your project application has been accepted, the primary contact will receive an electronic invoice via email from AE Accounts Receivable for the registration fee. The primary contact is the person or team that initiated the project in the AEGB online rating system. Your AEGB representative cannot approve your planning phase documents until the fee has been paid.

AEGB Services Fee

When AEGB has received and approved all design documents and your project has advanced to the construction phase, the primary contact will receive an electronic invoice via email for the AEGB Services Fee. Your AEGB representative cannot perform site visits until the fee has been paid.

Payment Reminders

The primary contact will receive a payment reminder via email every 20 days until your fees have been paid.

How to Pay

Fees can be paid by check only, made out to AE Cash Receipts, with the invoice number printed on the check. Mail the check to the address designated in the invoice.

Waivers

By City code, only S.M.A.R.T. housing and other City of Austin supported affordable housing developments are eligible to receive fee waivers. AEGB staff reviews eligibility before the registration fee is invoiced.

For projects outside the Austin Energy service area, consult the Austin Energy Green Building Program for a current fee schedule.
