The Utah Department of Agriculture & Food (UDAF), along with the National Organic Program (NOP), requires an Annual Application Fee, and a Yearly On-Site Inspection. An applicant can withdraw from certification at any time and will be charged only the amount for services to that point. Once an application has been submitted, it is considered final. Due to the administrative process involved, we are unable to offer refunds after submission. We encourage applicants to review all information carefully before submitting.
Initial Application Fee, due at the time of application submission
Annual Renewal Fee, due 1 February (each year, to continue organic certification)
Inspection Fee, required for initial and annual applications (see example below)
Annual Gross Sales Fees, for Organic Products Sold
Payment of annual gross sales fees shall accompany the annual registration application and fees and will be based on the previous year’s gross sales of certified organic products or services. This fee is due annually by February 1st of the following calendar year and must be submitted with the annual renewal registration application and fees.
