(A) Because of the undue burden of administration, no license under this chapter shall be required of domestic servants employed in private homes.
(B) No license shall be required of a minister of religion who has been ordained in accordance with the ceremonial ritual or discipline of a recognized church, religious sect or religious organization, to teach and preach its religious doctrines or to administer its rites in public worship, in the performance of one or more of those duties. However, it is not intended to exempt an ordained minister of religion from the necessity of paying a license fee for work done or services performed in the city in activities not connected with his or her regular duties as a minister of religion.
(C) Places of worship, religious schools and institutions of education not used or employed for gain by any person or corporation and the income of which is devoted solely to the cause of education and purely public charities but not their employees shall be exempt from all provisions of this chapter.
(D) Apartment houses and the rental of property shall be exempt from the license fee required by this chapter if the apartment building or residence involved shall have only two residential units and only if the owner of the building shall occupy one of those two residential units as his or her principal and primary residence.
(E) Nothing in this section shall be construed to mean that employees of churches, religious congregations or religious societies of all creeds (except duly ordained ministers) shall be relieved from the payment of any occupational license fee in compliance with all regulations established by the License Inspector with respect to making returns and payment of the fees.
