On the Horizon: CUPF's New Simplified Fee Structure for Indoor School Facilities

Published: July 8, 2025

Fee Structure Highlights

On August 25, 2025, the Office of Community Use of Public Facilities will be implementing a new simplified fee structure for indoor school facilities. Instead of seven fee categories with eleven fee charts, there are now three fee categories, each with a single simplified chart—Categories A, B, and C. 

Some highlights of additional changes include:

• Room use fees have been eliminated at schools for Parent-Teacher Associations as such use will now be considered MCPS/school internal use
• Classrooms in schools for after-school enrichment increased by $2.00 per hour for non-profit use
• The cost of auditorium facilities for weekend use by non-profit organizations increased from $160.00 to $176.00 per hour
