The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) is pleased to announce that its first online edition of the quarterly California Licensed Contractor (CLC) newsletter is now available.
The CSLB e-publication provides you with valuable information on a broad range of important subjects. The most recent round of state budget cuts forced CSLB management to make the difficult decision to discontinue mailing the publication. The decision will save the CSLB approximately $450,000.00 per year.

BEWARE OF LICENSE RENEWAL FRAUD (CSLB INDUSTRY BULLETIN)
SACRAMENTO – The California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) has learned that some states are experiencing incidents of license renewal fraud. Licensees receive notices in the mail that instruct the contractor to send their renewal fee to a name and address that is different from the regulating government agency. Do not be fooled if you receive this type of notice.
In California, all renewal forms and fees should only be sent to:
Licensees can easily determine if they are approaching their renewal date by licking on the CSLB website’s “Instant License Check” link to see if their license is nearing its expiration date. Every two years, CSLB mails a courtesy reminder notice to active licensees approximately 60 days before their expiration date. The notice includes the renewal application that must be completed, signed, and returned to CSLB with the appropriate fees. Please use the pre-addressed CSLB envelope provided in the notice or write the above address on your envelope when submitting your renewal application and fees. Inactive licenses are renewed every four years.
If you believe you have been a victim of license renewal fraud, please contact CSLB at 1-800-321-2752.
