All schools and all 4th degrees and above that are not associated with a school must pay their INO dues. Individual school fees are $150 and satelitel fees are 0-30 students $30, 31-50 students $50, 50-75 students $75, 76-99 students $100, 101 students and above is $150. Any school paying $150 regardless of size is considered independently owned. Any school paying a satelite fee is recognizing that the instructor of the main club over the school is the actual owner of the school and the sole decision maker.
Black belts that are 4th degree or above and not actively training at a school pay $30 INO fee and another $30 membership fee. Although these fees are due at different times many choose to pay both fees at the time of INO fee to avoid any late fees. Those senior black belts tht regularly train at a school do not have to pay the INO fee as it is covered by their school.
