The Interagency Coordinating Board (ICB) determines and approves all facility use permitting fees for Community Use of Public Facilities (CUPF). Note that fees apply for ALL the time a facility is occupied, including time needed for set-up, clean-up, and participants' vacating of the premises. Before proceeding with reserving a school facility, it is imperative to review the User Guidebook for School Facilities to obtain details, restrictions, reservation processes, and more. Below are the fees set by the ICB effective the Fiscal Year 2026:

User Guidebook for School Facilities
CUPF's User Guidebook for School Facilities is a resource outlining what school facilities may be used for, what is expected of community user groups, how to reserve school facilities, and what to expect when using a school facility.
Updates are made frequently as necessary. Please stay informed of changes, as this will help you and your group have the best possible experience. The most up-to-date copy of this guidebook, including the Facility Use License Agreement (FULA), is attached to each reservation or contract document containing reservations processed by CUPF.
