    (b) In addition to the application fee, applicants for the
examination are required to pay, either to the Department or
the designated testing service, a fee covering the cost of

provide services as a community association manager for
compensation, (iii) are not master associations under Section
18.5 of the Condominium Property Act or the Common Interest

State as not-for-profit corporations shall pay to the
Department an annual fee of $50 plus an additional $1 per unit,
but shall not exceed an annual fee of $1,000 for any community
association. The Department may establish forms and promulgate
any rules for the effective collection of such fees under this
subsection (c).
    Any not-for-profit corporation in this State that fails to

subsection (c) shall be subject to the penalties and procedures
provided for under Section 92 of this Act.
    (d) All fees, fines, penalties, or other monies received or
