number of all motor vehicles used in connection with providing landscaping
services. If the registration is due to expire within one month of
the application, the applicant must provide proof that the applicant
has applied for renewal of the registration.
C.Â
Proof of insurance, including statutory workers' compensation
insurance, motor vehicle insurance for each motor vehicle used in
