If you only sold 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 includes stock that was purchased with intent to sell as is. For example, if you are a landscaper or garden center 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.

If your business grew all the nursery stock it sold, you would owe a base certificate fee, a nursery stock grower inspection fee, and a fee per acre you grew on up to 200 acres. Growing nursery stock involves purchasing seed or small plants and producing nursery stock in pots or in the ground by actively increasing their size or quantity. For example, if you were a 20-acre tree farm that grew what you sold, your renewal fee would include the $50 base fee, the $100 nursery stock inspection fee, and the $10 per acre growing fee. In this case you would pay $10 for each of your acres, adding up to $200. Your total fee would equal $350.
