Licensed landscape architects are allowed to submit the $300 renewal fee up to 30 days past the actual expiration date before a delinquency fee is assessed. After 30 days, the fee to renew a delinquent license is $450.

Legislative Update: Effective January 1, 2002, Business and Professions Code section 5680.1 was amended authorizing the Board to collect all accrued and unpaid renewal fees within three years after a license has expires.  For more information, please contact the LATC office at (916) 445-4954 or by e-mail at latc@dca.ca.gov.

Section 5680.2 of the Business and Professions Code requires that if a license is not renewed within three years after its expiration, it may not be renewed, restored, reissued, or reinstated thereafter. However the holder of the cancelled license may apply for and obtain a new license upon completion of the re-licensure process and submission of the required $840 application fee. The re-licensure process requires submission of the Re-Licensure - Three to Five Years after Expiration form and all required documentation to the Landscape Architects Technical Committee (LATC). The LATC will review the provided information and make a recommendation to the California Architects Board as to whether the request will be granted.
