Nursery, Florist, & Landscaping

Anyone who engages in, conducts, or carries on the business of propagating, growing, selling, dealing in, or importing into Idaho, for sale or distribution, any nursery or florist stock, or engages in the installation of landscape plants, or acts as an agent, salesman, or solicitor for any nurseryman, florist, landscape contractor, or dealer in nursery or florist stock must first obtain a license to do so from the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA). The license fee is $100.00 for each calendar year. The license expires January 1 of every year, no matter when in the calendar year the license is issued. Any license not renewed by February 1 of each year shall be assessed an additional $25.00 fee along with the required license fee. An exemption from licensure may be requested when sales are only incident to the seller’s farming or gardening operations and gross annual sales do not exceed $500.00. The ISDA inspects nurseries and florists as often as the department considers necessary to facilitate exports and to detect and control pests and diseases.
