Renewing a License
Landscape Architect
Landscape Architect licenses expire biennially on July 31st of even numbered years. The renewal notification will be mailed to the address that is on file with the Department approximately 90 days prior to the date of renewal. The license must be renewed online using a debit or credit card containing a MasterCard, Visa, or Discover logo, or by electronic check (e-check). If you pay by debit or credit card, please allow for three business days for processing. If you pay by e-check, please allow 10 days for processing. The renewal fee is $120. Payments received by mail or in person will not be accepted and the renewal will not be processed. If a licensee fails to renew online and/or fails to meet all renewal requirements by the expiration date of the license, the licensee cannot legally practice and may be subject to disciplinary action if the individual continues to practice.
Change of Address
Licensees should ensure the Department has the most current address on file so that the renewal notification will be received.
