SPECIAL RECREATION PERMIT REQUIREMENTS/CONDITIONS/STIPULATIONS
Post-Use Reporting
Post-use reporting is required to document use and/or gross income for each event or activity that takes place as part of your permitted use. The information provided in the post-use report is used to calculate the use fees associated with your permit. There are different requirements depending on which type of SRP you have. Post-use reporting is required by stipulation for all SRPs and is generally due within 30 after the last day of permit activity.
Choose the appropriate permit category to find information about post-use reporting:

- Outfitters and guides who are conducting several trips throughout the season must submit their post-use along with the Trip Log or Master Guide/Client Record (if hunting or fishing) within 30 days after their last permit activity (i.e. guide trip) or by Dec 31 annually. Post-use reports must be accompanied by a Trip Log.

Special Recreation Permit Fees
All Special Recreation Permits are subject to use fees. The minimum annual, non-refundable permit fee for all types of SRPs is $100.00, which is required at the time of application. Additional fees are required for most permitted users. Use fees are based on different fee schedules dependent on the type of SRP.
Fee Structure by Permit Type:
- Commercial Permit Fees – Commercial SRP fees are equal to 3% of gross income generated by the permit. Gross income includes all sources of revenue collected during the permit period. For large scale activities that require more than 50 hours of BLM staff time, cost recovery of actual expenses incurred by the government is also required.
- Competitive and Organized Group Permit Fees - Competitive and Organized Group Fees are equal to $5 per/person, per/day. In cases where a competitive event charges entry fees, the fee will be based on the per/person rate or 3% of gross receipts, whichever is greater.
- Cost Recovery - For any permit activity that requires more than 50 hours of BLM labor to process and administer the permit, the permittee will be responsible for cost recovery of all actual costs incurred to the government. Be sure to discuss as many details as possible with the Outdoor Recreation Planner during your pre-application consultation. The time spent prior to submitting a permit application does not apply toward the 50 hour threshold.
Insurance Requirements
Insurance is required for most SRPs. Consult with the Outdoor Recreation Planner regarding the required levels of insurance. The table below shows the levels of insurance required for various types of permit proposals:
