Apiary Registration Fees WILL BE ASSESSED for 2026
Fee Payments for each calendar year are due on January 1st.
Per 3 CCR § 2951, apiary registration fees will be assessed for each calendar year. Fees are assessed in arrears, so your 2027 registration fee will be based on the maximum number of colonies you had registered in 2026. The fees are due on January 1st, and must be paid by January 31st of each registration year. If fees are not paid by that date, a late penalty fee of 50% of the amount due will be added to the total amount due (3 CCR § 2952).
The fees payable are set based on the maximum number of colonies registered in the prior calendar year:
| Number of colonies | Fee |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | $10.00 |
| 10-50 | $100.00 |
| 51+ colonies | $250.00 |
| Broker | $250.00 |
| Fee is based on the total number of colonies and not a per colony basis. | |
Certain counties may waive the registration fee for hobbyist beekeepers. If you are registering in a county that has opted for the hobbyist fee waiver and you had fewer than 10 colonies in the prior calendar year, your payment status will automatically show as Waived.
Fees should be paid online through this web site (3 CCR § 2954). After you log in to BeeWhere your home page will show your registration status for each calendar year. After registering for 2027, the Status column for 2027 in your home county will either show WAIVED (if you had fewer than 10 colonies in 2026 and your home county waives hobbyist beekeeper fees), or UNPAID - PAY NOW if fees are due. Click the UNPAID - PAY NOW link to make your payment through our secure online payment page.
