11 IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN This document is intended to provide a review of the current concept and breakdown of all related fees attached to Service New Brunswick’s existing Registry and Mapping Services. Concepts of the Charging Models:

• Service New Brunswick creates external client accounts and sets Charging Model and Billing Code requested.

• The Charging Model and Billing Code for each user is defaulted from the client

account for each user created by SNB or External Client Administrators under their client.

• Alternative Charging Model and Billing Codes may be assigned to the individual

Users at the request of the Client.

• Once the charge model and billing code are set for a client or user, they become read-only and ONLY Service New Brunswick will be able to change it.

• Users wishing to change their charging model and Billing codes will have to

contact Service New Brunswick 30 days in advance. Real Property Information Charging Models: The Fee Structure is currently broken down into the following 2 Charging Models:

1. Transactional

The Transactional-Based Fee Structure is $1 for all queries on textual information on a parcel, and property maps. The Transactional-Based Fee Structure has a minimum billing of $10 / month for ALL ACTIVE accounts.
