    What is the application fee used for?

    These are the searches run as part of the background check and what each costs:

    • Screening report: $20
    • Supplemental Colorado criminal history: $12
    • Income verification: $12
    • AppFolio pass-through admin fee: $2.45
    • AppFolio payment processing fee: $5
    • Internal processing: $4 (average)
    • Supervisor review: $2 (average)
    • Software and web platforms: $2 (average)

    Application fee total: $59.45 per applicant.

    The application fee is the actual cost of screening. It is not a rental payment or security deposit, and it is usually not refundable once screening has run. If you provide a portable screening report, there is no application fee. Here is how that works.
