The fee applies to all new licenses issued and all renewals with expiration dates on or after the effective date.\n\nLandscape architects and examination candidates in California should budget for the increased fee at their next renewal or initial licensure. The LATC's self-funding structure means no state appropriations offset these costs, suggesting future fee adjustments may follow if operating expenses continue to rise.
