If you grew nursery stock and resold finished nursery stock purchased from others, you would owe a base certificate fee, a nursery stock purchase fee, a nursery stock grower inspection fee, and a fee per acre you grew on up to 200 acres. For example, if you bought $5,000 of finished nursery stock from others to resell, and owned two acres of greenhouse space where you also grew nursery stock you sold, your renewal fee would include the $50 base certificate fee, the $50 nursery stock purchases fee (based on the table above), the $100 nursery stock grower inspection fee, and the $10 per acre growing fee. In this case you would pay $10 for each of your two acres, adding up to $20. Your total renewal fee would equal $220.
Gross annual sales equal the total revenue generated from product sold in a calendar year. Gross annual purchases equal the total dollar amount spent in a calendar year buying finished nursery stock for re-sale.

There are 43,560 square feet in an acre. Divide your total growing square footage by 43,560 to calculate your growing acres. For example, if your total growing square footage was 21,780 you would have .5 total growing acres.

Total reported acres will be rounded to the nearest acre. If you grow on less than half an acre, it will be rounded down to zero acres and your fee will include the $50 base certificate fee and the $100 nursery stock grower inspection fee with no additional acreage fee.

If you only purchase finished nursery stock, you would owe a base certificate fee per sales location and an additional fee based on how much you spent purchasing finished stock for 2024. Finished nursery stock is plant material you order or pick up from a greenhouse, nursery, or garden center that is typically containerized (or ball and burlap) at a sellable size and you sell it or install it as is.
For example, if you are a landscaper with one sales location and you spent $15,000 buying nursery stock to sell in 2024, your 2025 renewal fee would include the $50 base certificate fee and $100 nursery stock purchases fee. Your total fee would equal $150.
