About each permit
Electrical License
A contractor license costs more to obtain than to renew is not the pattern here — $210 either way — but master, journeyman and residential licenses each renew more cheaply than a fresh application, at $140 against an original examination-based fee of $190. Sixteen hours of continuing education are required each two-year cycle. The board has temporarily abated its FY2026 renewal fees by half, a discretionary reduction layered on top of the statutory figures above rather than a change to the underlying rule.
