On Madagascar, is the High Costs $4 surcharge paid once per action or per hex, and is it owed if you do not build?

It is a one-time $4 surcharge, not per hex, paid only when you choose to build, on top of the normal track costs. This comes from the designer's answers as relayed by a community member. An older post that played it as always paid before building is superseded.
