What is agriculture exemption?
B&P section 7049 provides an exemption from licensure for any “construction or operation incidental to the construction and repair of irrigation and drainage ditches of regularly constituted irrigation districts, reclamation districts, or to farming, dairying, agriculture, viticulture, horticulture, or stock or poultry raising, or clearing or other work upon the land in rural districts for fire prevention purposes”. However, if a licensed contractor performs work included in the agriculture exemption, CSLB has jurisdiction over complaints.
