Fees for application and certification are stated in Minnesota Statutes, section 18C.141. Applicable fees for initial or renewal certification must be submitted with an application. Fees may not be prorated. Land grant university soil analysis laboratories in Minnesota and those that are in states contiguous with Minnesota are exempt from all fees.
Laboratories that fail to pay the renewal fee by December 31 of each year, as designated by postmark, must have their certifications classified as lapsed and are subject to initial fee charges to regain certification status. A laboratory certification must be reclassified as revoked if the initial or renewal fees payable are not postmarked within 60 days after the December 31 deadline.
