Twenty-eight states require taxidermists to have a license. Every state charges a fee—ranging from $12 in Mississippi and North Carolina to $250 in Washington ($78 on average)—and none requires any education or experience. Only two states require any exams: Maine requires two, while Maryland requires one. The average requirements for taxidermist are the 100th most burdensome of the 102 occupations studied here. However, because more than half of states license taxidermists, the occupation ranks as the 69th most widely and onerously licensed.
