§ 12103 Pesticide License Application Fees

This law says you must fill out a special form, pay a fee, and the license ends on December 31 of the year it’s issued; you also have to pay extra for each store or sales yard you have.

Key Takeaways

  • •Use the director‑approved application form and include name, address, and any other required info.
  • •Pay the base license fee into the State Treasury for the Pesticide Regulation Fund.
  • •The license automatically ends on December 31 of the year it’s issued.
  • •Add an extra fee for each store or sales yard you own, even if the location is out of state but does business with the state.

Example

A pesticide company wants a license and has three stores in the state.

The company fills out the director‑approved form, pays the basic license fee, then adds an extra charge for each of its three stores before the license is granted.

How to Calculate

Total Fee = Base License Fee + (Additional Fee per Location × Number of Locations)

  1. Find out the base license fee set by the director.
  2. Find out the extra fee the director charges for each location.
  3. Count how many stores or sales yards you have.
  4. Multiply the extra fee by the number of locations.
  5. Add that amount to the base fee to get the total you must pay.

A company with a $200 base fee, an extra $50 per store, and 3 stores.

Result: Total Fee = 200 + (50 × 3) = $350
