Fifty states, fifty rulebooks. Quarterly tonnage in Florida. June 30 closes Minnesota's year. New York's license dies every even December. Fertilabel keeps the one calendar, prefills every form and does the fee math to the cent — while you get back to selling.
✓SOURCES-FIRST: every deadline, fee and rule in Fertilabel links to the official statute or agency page. If we can't source it, we don't show it.
There is no federal fertilizer registration. Each state runs its own program, on its own calendar, with its own fees — and its own penalties. These are the numbers, from the statutes themselves:
separate state programs regulate fertilizer in the United States. Your obligations exist in every state you ship to — not just where you're headquartered.NO FEDERAL REGISTRY
Florida licensees report tonnage and pay inspection fees quarterly, by statute — "each licensee shall report to the department quarterly the tonnage of fertilizer sold in the state."FLA. STAT. §576.041
Minnesota's penalty for a late annual tonnage report — the greater of the two. Florida charges 1.5% per month. Late is never free.MINN. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
fertilizer products registered in Indiana alone, by 680 companies, in a single year — per the State Chemist's annual report. Multiply by every state you sell in.OFFICE OF IND. STATE CHEMIST

"There is no federal registry.
There are fifty."
We published our rules state by state, with sources, before charging a cent for them. Three turned out to charge no fee at all: Alaska and Hawaii run no fertilizer programme, and Wyoming charges registration only. Click any state to open its guide.
"Each licensee shall report to the department quarterly the tonnage of fertilizer sold in the state and pay the inspection fee."
A recurring filing in which companies licensed to sell fertilizer in a US state declare the tons distributed there and pay the state's inspection fee. Frequency varies: Florida requires it quarterly; Minnesota and New York collect it annually.
Most states require each fertilizer product — in practice, its label — to be registered with the state agriculture department before it is distributed there, and renewed periodically. Requirements, fees and grace periods differ state by state.
The states. There is no federal fertilizer registration: each state's department of agriculture or state chemist's office runs its own licensing, registration and tonnage program under its own statute.
Many states run parallel registration programs for soil and plant amendments, with their own forms and fees. Selling both fertilizers and amendments can mean two registrations in the same state.

Two entries a week, written by The Fertilabel Rules Desk from the state sources themselves. Every figure links to the statute or agency page it came from.
A licence is mandatory in Arizona, Montana, Nevada and Utah. The fee is not on any page we could read: Arizona returned 403, Nevada sets it by the Director each year, Montana and Utah simply do not print it. Our guides say Not verified rather than a plausible number, and this is why.
Read the entry →With New England, Alaska, Hawaii and Wyoming, the rule library covers all fifty states, each with its official source. The last nine were the strangest: two states with no programme at all, two that dropped the per-ton fee, and one that charges sixty times more per ton on lawn fertilizer than on farm fertilizer.
Read the entry →Six more states, and the library reaches 41 of 50. Delaware charges its 10% late surcharge per month, Maryland adds another 31 January deadline to the worst month of the year, New Jersey exempts the first ten tons of every period, and Alabama wants a report every single month.
