Summary
This is a regulatory announcement from the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) regarding the implementation of a new C-49 Tree and Palm Contractor classification effective January 1, 2024. The document, issued November 13, 2023, notifies contractors of significant changes to licensing requirements for tree service specialists in California. The new C-49 classification replaces the previous C-61/D-49 Tree Service limited specialty classification and expands the scope to include palm tree services. All applicants for the C-49 classification must pass a trade examination, regardless of other license classifications held. Contractors who previously held an active C-61/D-49 license for at least four years will receive expedited application experience review. Existing C-61/D-49 licenseholders may continue operating under their current classification after January 1, 2024, though CSLB encourages transition to the new C-49 standard. The trade examination for the C-49 classification was finalized in December 2022 and addresses health and safety protocols specific to the tree service industry.
This regulatory change directly impacts the Palm Tree Pruning Services contract opportunity issued by the County of Solano, which requires bidders to hold an active C-49 Tree and Palm Contractor License and employ a permanent ISA Certified Arborist on-site during operations. The solicitation covers pruning services for 86 palm trees at the downtown Fairfield campus, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for January 16, 2026, and bid submissions due February 13, 2026. The contract offers a three-year initial term with options for two additional one-year renewals. Pricing is submitted on a per-tree basis by species, with payment terms of net 30-45 days. The County will conduct equipment and staffing inspections prior to award and reserves the right to make split awards among multiple vendors.

New C-49 Tree and Palm Classification Takes Effect January 1, 2024
Sacramento, CA – The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) will accept applications for the new C-49 – Tree and Palm Contractor classification starting January
1, 2024.
CSLB created this classification to ensure tree service contractors are tested on health and safety protocols in the tree service industry. The regulation establishing the C-49 was approved on March 30, 2022. The C-49 trade examination was developed and finalized in December 2022.
Starting January 1, 2024, the following changes affect tree service specialty contractors:
• CSLB will no longer accept applications for the C-61/D-49 Tree Service limited specialty classification. Applications received for the C-61/D-49 Tree Service classification after December 31, 2023, will be processed as a C-49 Tree and
Palm application.
• Contractors who wish to specialize in tree service work who do not hold a C-
61/D-49 Tree Service classification will need to apply for the C-49 Tree and Palm
Contractor classification.
• All applicants for the C-49 Tree and Palm Contractor classification will need to sit for a trade examination regardless of other license classifications they hold.
• CSLB will expediate the application experience review for C-49 applicants that have held an active C-61/D-49 Tree Service license for at least four years.
Contractors who hold a C-61/D-49 Tree Service classification issued before January 1, 2024, may retain and work under that classification after January 1. However, C-61/D-
49 are encouraged to apply for the C-49 classification, which will become the industry standard.
While the C-49 and C-61/D-49 classification descriptions differ slightly (the C-49 description includes palms) CSLB regards the classification of work as the same.

La Nueva Clasificación de Árboles y Palmeras C-49 Entra en Efecto el
1 de enero de 2024
Sacramento, CA – La Junta Estatal de Licencias de Contratistas (CSLB, por sus siglas en inglés) aceptará solicitudes para la nueva clasificación C-49 – Contratista de Árboles y Palmeras a partir el 1 de enero de 2024.
CSLB creó esta clasificación para asegurar los contratistas de servicios de árboles sean probados en protocolos de salud y seguridad en la industria de servicios de árboles. El reglamento estableciendo el C-49 fue aprobado el 30 de marzo de 2022. El examen comercio del C-49 se desarrolló y finalizó en diciembre de 2022.
A partir del 1 de enero de 2024, los siguientes cambios afectan a los contratistas especializados en servicios de árboles:
• CSLB ya no aceptará solicitudes para la clasificación de especialidad limitada C-
61/D-49 Servicio de Arboles. Las solicitudes recibidas para la clasificación C-
61/D-49 Servicio de Arboles después del 31 de diciembre de 2023 se procesarán como una solicitud C-49 Árbol y Palma.
• Los contratistas que deseen especializarse en trabajos de servicio de árboles y que no tengan una clasificación de Servicio de árboles C-61/D-49 deberán solicitar la clasificación de Contratista de árboles y palmeras C-49.
• Todos los solicitantes de la clasificación C-49 de Contratista de árboles y palmeras deberán aprobar el examen comercio a pesar de poseando otras clasificaciones de licencia.
• CSLB acelerará la revisión de la experiencia de la solicitud para los solicitantes
C-49 que hayan tenido una licencia activa de C-61/D-49 Servicio de Árboles por al menos cuatro años.
Los contratistas que tengan la clasificación C-61/D-49 Servicio de Árboles emitida antes del 1 de enero de 2024, pueden conservar y trabajar bajo esa clasificación después del 1 de enero. Sin embargo, se recomienda a los C-61/D-49 que soliciten la clasificación C-49, que se convertirá en el estándar en la industria.
Mientras las descripciones de clasificaciónes C-49 y C-61/D-49 difieren ligeramente (la descripción C-49 incluye palmas), CSLB considera la clasificación del trabajo es la misma.
