* ACREAGE FEE EXEMPTION

A change in the law, effective January 1, 2000, exempts licensees from paying acreage fees if their gross income from the production of cut flowers and/or cut ornamentals is 75% or greater of their gross income for their nursery. If qualified for this exemption, licensees must still list total acreage on the front page, however, in the adjacent acreage fee block, please enter zero fees.

** ASSESSMENTS FOR CITRUS, FRUIT OR NUT TREES AND GRAPEVINES

If a licensed nursery sold citrus trees, deciduous pome and stone fruit trees or grapevine nursery stock this past fiscal year it may owe an assessment. Sections 6971-6979 and 6981-6989 of the California Food and Agricultural Code established an annual assessment to be collected from producers of citrus trees, deciduous pome and stone fruit trees, nut trees and grapevine nursery stock. The assessment is 1% of the gross sales made in the producer’s most recently completed fiscal year. Some exceptions may apply. The law does not allow the License to Sell Nursery Stock to be renewed until assessment fees are paid.
