​​​​​​​​​​​​Any individual or business that sells or distributes lime in Wisconsin:

  • Needs an annual lime materials license, valid January 1-December 31. The license fee is $10/year.

  • Must complete an annual tonnage report and pay tonnage fees of $0.0125/ton sold in the previous year. 

Liming materials include agricultural lime, marl, and paper mill refuse. You must be licensed and pay the tonnage fee even if you sell by volume rather than weight. All liming material shall be sold and guaranteed on the basis of the index zone of the material, unless the material is marl or paper mill refuse lime (§. ATCP 41.02, Wis. Admin. Code). 

Current license holders will receive renewal notices by email in November (if you do not have an email on file, the renewal notice will be sent by mail). MyDATCP v3 begins accepting license renewals and updated forms are posted in November. 

Additional approvals are required for lime products that also contain:
