Florida CEUs · Lawn & Ornamental
Florida Lawn & Ornamental (L&O) CEUs, online
Two FDACS-approved CEU hours in Lawn & Ornamental, built around Florida turfgrass weed management. $25, self-paced, with your FDACS-13325 filled in and emailed when you pass.
How many L&O hours you need
Certified operators renew every year with 2 hours of Core plus 2 hours in each category they hold (Fla. Stat. §482.111(10)), so an L&O-only operator needs 4 hours a year. Limited Lawn & Ornamental certification (§482.156) renews every 4 years and needs 4 hours across the cycle: 2 hours of Core plus 2 hours of Lawn & Ornamental.

Frequently asked questions
I hold a Limited Lawn & Ornamental certificate. Does this count?
Yes. The course is approved for Lawn & Ornamental hours, and for Limited Lawn & Ornamental holders the FDACS-13325 records the hours under both Commercial Lawn & Ornamental and Limited Lawn & Ornamental. Pair it with the Core course for the full 4 hours your 4-year cycle requires.
Is this the same as the Limited Urban Fertilizer requirement?
No. Limited Urban Commercial Fertilizer Applicator certification (§482.1562) is a separate credential with its own category hours. See the Limited Urban Fertilizer CEU page.
What score do I need to pass, and can I retake the quiz?
You need 75% on the final quiz, the passing score for every Chapter 482 category under Rule 5E-14.113. Retakes are unlimited and free, and your best passing attempt is the one that counts.
