1. (1) Nurserymen shall pay annual inspection certificate fees based on the previous year’s volume of sales in nursery stock. Where stock is grown at more than one location, fees shall be based on the aggregated previous year’s volume of sales, unless the nurseryman requests separate certification, as follows:

   Previous Year’s Gross Sales of Production	Fee
   Less than $100,000	$ 50.00
   $100,000.01 to $500,000	$ 75.00
   $500,000.01 to $1,000,000	$125.00
   $1,000,000.01 to $1,500,000	$200.00
   More than $1,500,000	$230.00

2. (2) A person who requests an inspection and a certificate for plants not defined herein as nursery stock, for any movement or sale, may be provided such services on the same basis as if the plant material shall be subject to the same laws and rules as if the person was a nurseryman and the plant material was nursery stock.
3. (3) A dealer in nursery stock shall pay an annual certificate fee of $20.00 for each separate location or place of business from which nursery stock is sold or offered for sale.
4. (4) These certificates expire September 30, the end of the fiscal year for which they are issued.
