Registration

If you are a farm labor contractor (FLC) or Pest Control Advisor (PCA) working in Contra Costa County, you are required to register every year before you begin work. The fees for these registrations can be found on our agricultural fee schedule.

Pesticide use permits

California requires permits for restricted materials so that the local Agricultural Commissioner can assess, in advance, the potential effects of the proposed application on health and the environment. If you have questions about obtaining a site-specific permit for restricted materials, please contact us at 925-608-6600.
