Attention! The deadline for Consultant List Renewal Applications has been extended indefinitely.
The extended deadline applies to the following subject areas: Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Archaeological Resources, Biological Resources, EIR Preparer, Fire Protection Planning, Groundwater, Historic Resources, Mineral Resources, Noise, Revegetation Planning, Traffic and Transportation and Visual Analysis.
The Department has received numerous comments regarding the renewal fee for the County’s CEQA Consultant List. As a result, the Department is re-evaluating the renewal application fee as part of the comprehensive County Fee Ordinance update.
How does this affect your standing on the consultant list and the status of your application?
- Your standing on County of San Diego CEQA Consultant Lists will remain in effect until completion of the renewal application process.
- The Department will refund any renewal fees already paid by consultants to date. Consultants applying for renewal will need to pay the renewal fee that is in effect once the comprehensive County Fee Ordinance update is completed.
- The Department will provide notice to the renewing Consultants of the new fee.
Listed consultants who do not submit a renewal application package, including the associated consultant application fee, will be removed from the applicable consultant list. A letter detailing the application requirements was previously sent to all listed consultants.

| Applications for placement on CEQA consultant lists are accepted on an open enrollment basis. Consultant lists are reestablished at a minimum of every four years, at which time all listed consultants are required to submit a renewal application. If a consultant list reestablishment occurs within six months of your placement on a consultant list, you will not be required to apply for renewal. The schedule for list reestablishment is listed in the RenewalApplication Requirements. Payment of a consultant application fee is required for new applications. The fee is currently $420 in accordance with the County Fee Schedule. Once the fee for the renewal applications is established, consultants on the current list will be notified. |

All listed consultants are required to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or similar agreement that addresses payment, communications, confidentiality of information, report preparation and handling, and indemnification.
