Florida Hemp: License Renewal Information & Tips – February 2021

LICENSE RENEWAL

At this time, the hemp license renewal process will involve submitting a new application through our online licensing portal found at: https://hemp.fdacs.gov/ All applicants will be assigned a new hemp cultivation license number pending approval.
If you experienced any complications in 2020 which prompted submission of multiple applications (i.e. multiple responsible/control persons or multiple growing locations) you may wish to consider consolidating your information into a single license application this year.
When you submit a new application for a Hemp Cultivation License consider making any important changes to your application such as updating:

  • Responsible/Control Person Details – add or remove persons, contact information*
  • Business Details – business name, address, or contact information, EIN, nursery registration number*
  • Containment, Transportation, and Equipment Cleaning Plans – should reflect current cultivation location(s), method(s), and intent

*Please note that Florida has a broad public records law (Chapter 119, Florida Statutes). All information submitted on a hemp cultivation license application is considered public record obtainable by the public upon request. A list of all licensed hemp cultivators is posted on our Department website for public access.*

Please review the attached document “Timeline of Important Events for Hemp Cultivators” which summarizes all deadlines and notification requirements for license holders.
