License Issuance

Following the examination, successful applicants will be informed of what requirements must be met for issuance of a license. These will include an issuance fee of $150, a contractor's bond or cash deposit of $7,500, evidence of workers' compensation insurance coverage, and an asbestos open-book exam. Those applying as a C-53 swimming pool contractor must file a $10,000 bond or cash deposit.

Additional bonds are required for some applicants. If additional bonds are required for your application, you will be notified.

Examinees who fail one or both parts of the examination or who do not appear as scheduled for the examination will be informed of the requirements for retesting.

Usually about 5 weeks after the issuance documents are received by the board, if all necessary items are completed, the license number will be issued. The new licensee will receive a wall certificate within 2 weeks after the documents are processed, and later will be sent a credit card-sized plastic pocket license. New licenses will not need to be renewed for 2 years.
