Plant Sale Permit
What is the purpose of this permit?
The Plant Sale Permit is an exemption from our state's licensing requirement for clubs, conservation districts, and educational and nonprofit associations who are conducting no more than three sales per year for not more than four consecutive days. Obtaining a plant sale permit notifies WSDA of intended sales and provides an opportunity for inspection to minimize the spread of harmful plant pests and diseases.
What activities require this permit and who needs to get it?
Organizations who qualify for an exemption from the nursery plant seller/installer license requirements by being a club, conservation district, or nonprofit association that is conducting no more than three sales per year for not more than four consecutive days. Educational organizations also qualify for the exemption, but are not limited to only three sales per year.
