When cattle are inspected, the fees for this inspection must be paid at that time. However, you have up to 30 days to pay the fees to the director after you get the inspection certificate. The only exception is if you've already deposited a bond or cash with the bureau to cover these fees.

This law allows the secretary to add a service charge for cattle inspections. If there are 29 cattle or less at one location, the fee can be up to $25. For 30 cattle or more at the same location, the fee can be up to $15.

If you owe fees for brand inspections and don't pay them, the director can go after what you owe using a different legal process. They might also refuse to do more inspections until you pay up.

If the inspection fees aren't paid on time, you'll have to pay extra as a penalty. If you owe more than $25, they’ll tack on an extra 20%. If you owe $25 or less, you’ll pay an extra $5 as a penalty.

This law section outlines the fees for inspecting animals in California, which are generally paid at the inspection point. Typically, each animal inspection costs $1.60. However, if the inspection is at a registered feedlot, the fee is $0.85 per animal. If the animal was shipped from another state to a registered feedlot for feeding, the fee drops to $0.60. Similarly, if an animal was already inspected at a local stockyard or saleyard before being moved to a registered feedlot, the fee is also $0.60.

This law states that for private treaty transactions involving the inspection of animals, a fee of $1.60 must be paid for each animal at the point of inspection. This is true for all transactions, no matter where the animal is headed.

This law states that there is no fee for inspecting baby calves, known as suckling calves, that are with their mothers during transport, as long as they are not being sold, slaughtered, or changing owners.

This law states that there is a fee of $1.60 for inspecting each animal before it is sold at specific public saleyards. The fee applies both to saleyards posted by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and to cases where the animal comes from another state and is sent to a public saleyard in California.

If you transport cattle from a specific inspection area in California without selling or slaughtering them, and ownership doesn't change, you have to pay $1.60 per animal for an inspection. This fee doesn't apply to young calves that are with their mothers.

If you're transporting cattle out of California for reasons other than selling or slaughtering them, and ownership isn't changing, you need to pay an inspection fee of $1.60 per cow.

This law sets out the fees for inspecting cattle in areas where a full point-of-origin inspection is required. The fee is determined by the director based on a recommendation and must cover the actual inspection costs. There's no fee for suckling calves if they're with their mothers and not being sold or slaughtered. Cattle moving to a destination inspection point are exempt from the destination fee but may still need further inspection.

This section allows the director, with advice from the Livestock Identification Advisory Board, to adjust certain fees related to livestock identification. If the operating costs can be managed with less money, fees can be lowered. Conversely, if more funds are needed to cover costs, the director can raise fees up to 20% more than the standard rate, but any increase must be approved by a two-thirds majority of the board.

This section allows cattle producers or breeders to enter into agreements with the Bureau of Livestock Identification for pre-inspections of purebred bulls and certain project calves before they are sold. The agreements must include identifying all animals, keeping them in designated pens, and having Brand Inspectors check and identify them. When animals are sold, sellers must provide buyers with a bill of sale that includes identification numbers and send a copy to the Brand Inspector. The Inspector will issue a Brand Inspection Certificate and collect fees for each certificate. If animals are sold to be taken out of state, they must be inspected and the certificate issued before leaving the seller's premises. Each agreement lasts for one year but can be canceled if requirements are not met.
