Download the Indiana Seed Permit Application.
If seed is being sold in the state of Indiana with your name or the name of your company, then you/your company are required to obtain an Indiana Seed Permit. There is no fee associated with the permit and there is no expiration date.
If an active seed permit is held, then you/your company are required to pay semi-annual tonnage. Please inform us if you or your company stops selling seed in Indiana so that we can cancel your permit and cease the request for semi-annual tonnage payments.
If you are hosting a seed library/giveaway/swap, please refer to the Seed Library Policy
Any person or company holding an Indiana Seed Permit is required to submit a Semi-Annual Distribution Report (Tonnage) for the sale of all seed sold in Indiana. This Report must be submitted two (2) times a year, even if no sales have taken place during the reporting period. Failure to report tonnage could lead to the cancellation of your Seed Permit.
There are two reporting periods for the Semi-Annual Distribution Report (Tonnage):
| Reporting Period | Due Date | Delinquent After: |
| January 1 - June 30 | July 31 | August 15 |
| July 1 - December 31 | January 31 | February 15 |
Note: All agricultural and vegetable seeds distributed in Indiana are required to be reported.
