Each licensed pesticide dealer location must report sales and pay applicable fees to MDA by January 31st following the year of sale. Dealers must report and pay applicable Minnesota Gross Sales fees and ACRRA surcharges on their total annual gross sales of agricultural pesticides. If you have multiple dealer licenses for several locations, each dealer license reports and pays fees for their sales separately. Dealers must also renew their license application and pay license renewal fees before January 31 each year to avoid a license renewal late fee of $75.

For each license, dealers will submit an electronic report of their annual agricultural pesticide sales to the MDA via a reporting application on the department’s web page. The web application will calculate fees and surcharges owed by the dealer and provide electronic payment or payment by check options.

The MDA recommends that dealers for each license organize their agricultural pesticide sales data before they enter the report application. We recommend creating a table or spreadsheet that contains required report elements. For each agricultural pesticide product sold, the required elements are: EPA registration number or the MDA product ID number; product brand name; total quantity in standard units (Gallon [wet] or Pound [dry]); and total annual agricultural pesticide sales dollar amount for each product.
