(b) The secretary may fix the minimum license fee at an amount that is less than one hundred eighty dollars ($180) and may adjust the license fee if, after investigation and due notice, the secretary finds that the cost of administering this division and Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 53301) of Division 18, which relate to nursery stock, can be defrayed from revenues derived from the license fee in combination with those sums as provided by Sections 435 and 5822.

The total acreage fee shall not be less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than nine hundred dollars ($900) for each licensee.
