§ 12034 Pest Adviser Registration Fees

County boards can charge pest control advisers a fee for registration, but it can never be more than $10 a year for the main county and $5 a year for each extra county.

Key Takeaways

•The fee can never be more than $10 per year for the main county registration.
•Each additional county adds $5 per year.
•County boards set the fees, but they must follow these maximum amounts.

Example

A pest control adviser lives in County A and wants to be registered there, and also wants to work in County B.

The adviser pays $10 for the registration in County A (the county on their license) and $5 for the extra registration in County B, so the total cost is $15 for the year.

How to Calculate

Total Fee = $10 × (primary county registration) + $5 × (number of additional counties)

Determine if the adviser is registering in their primary county (the county on their license). If yes, add $10.
Count how many extra counties the adviser wants to register in.
Multiply the number of extra counties by $5.
Add the $10 (if applicable) to the $5‑per‑extra‑county amount to get the total yearly fee.

Adviser registers in their home county and two extra counties.

Result: $10 × 1 + $5 × 2 = $10 + $10 = $20 total fee for the year.

County boards of supervisors may set fees for registration to cover the cost of registering pest control advisers, but in no case shall the fee total more than ten dollars ($10) per year for a pest control adviser to register in person in the county listed in the adviser’s address on the license issued pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 12021) or the county of occupational choice, as the case may be, and five dollars ($5) per year for an adviser to register in an additional county as provided in Section 12031. (Amended by Stats. 1985, Ch. 95, Sec. 2.)
