If you are applying to be a licensed engineer in New York, it will cost you $345 more than if you were applying in Idaho or Oregon, according to a new study by Zweig White & Associates, Inc.

The "Guide to Doing Business in All 50 States for A/E/P & Environmental Consulting Firms" reports that application fees are highest in New York, Texas, Arkansas and Nevada. In comparison, Alabama, Maine and Delaware boast mere $10 fees for licensure, while Idaho and Oregon charge no fees at all.
