What happens to a landscape architect's license if the bi-annual fee is not paid?

If the bi-annual fee is not paid, the landscape architect's license goes inactive. This means that the individual is no longer authorized to practice landscape architecture until the necessary fees are paid and the license is reinstated. Licensing authorities often set these guidelines to ensure that professionals are in good standing and continue to meet the requirements set forth by their regulatory bodies. By requiring timely payment of fees, it helps maintain a standard of accountability and professionalism within the field.

Licenses are not usually automatically renewed if fees are unpaid, which clarifies why the other options do not apply. An inactive status indicates that the license holder must take steps to renew their status, often involving payment and possibly fulfilling additional requirements.
