Applying for Operation Permit

Applying for Aquatic Farm Operation Permit Transfer

The Aquatic Farm Operation Permit Transfer Application is used to request a transfer of your Aquatic Farm Operation Permit to another entity. A person to whom a permit is being transferred to may use the operation permit only for the purposes of the original permit and is subject to the same permit conditions and limitations. A transfer requires the approval and signature of the current permit holder on the application. A $100.00 transfer fee is required and must be submitted with the completed form. If you are transferring your operation permit and there is an aquatic farm lease, please contact DNR for a reassignment of the lease.

Apply at least 30 days before transfer is required. Please be sure to obtain a DNR lease reassignment before applying for an operation permit transfer unless the operation has no lease.

You may also be required to provide additional information (project description, site plans, diagrams, and drawings, etc.) to update the operation permit.
