| Nursery License |
|
A license issued by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) is required by anyone operating as a grower or dealer of nursery stock in Oregon. Licenses are valid for one year and must be renewed by June 30 of each year. Licenses are not prorated for segments of any fiscal year.
The department offers three different types of nursery licenses:
Exceptions for nursery license requirements include businesses whose total sales do not exceed $250 per fiscal year and/or landscaping businesses or brokers that do not grow or store live plant material for more than one year. These parties do not require a license but may apply for one if they choose.
Nursery license fees are calculated depending on the type of license. Nursery retail licenses are based upon reported annual purchases while nursery grower licenses are based upon reported gross sales. Please use nursery license calculator to determine appropriate nursery license fees. Also included in nursery fees are research assessment fee and plant pest disease emergency fund assessment fee.
