Where are all fees paid to the department deposited?

Fees collected by the department go into the State Treasury, specifically into the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund. This creates a dedicated funding source for harbor and watercraft programs, so the revenues from these fees are available to support operations, safety, maintenance, and capital projects related to harbors and waterways. Keeping funds in a state revolving fund within the treasury ensures proper accounting and that the money is used for its intended purposes. Depositing into a broker’s personal account would be improper, an escrow account is used for private real estate transactions, and the Federal Treasury is for federal government receipts, not state agencies.
