Good to know: Base biennial pharmacist renewal fee is $350 (fee increase effective 7/16/2025 via temporary rule). The Board's published "total renewal fee" of $474 assumes a post-deadline renewal and bundles: $350 biennial renewal + $50 late fee + $70 Prescription Drug Monitoring fee + $4 Healthcare Workforce Demographic Survey fee. On-time renewers would not owe the $50 late fee, so the actual single fixed pharmacist renewal fee component is $350; the $70 PDMP and $4 survey fees are additional mandatory charges. Online renewal and payment via the eGov system (orbop.mylicense.com/eGov) with US Bank payment. Specific late-fee mechanics are governed by OAR 855-110.
