About each permit
Electrical Contractor License and Business Permit
Two instruments, both mandatory, and the second is the one people miss: a licensed electrical contractor may not perform electrical contracting work without also holding a business permit, which costs $150 for the triennium and requires a $1,000 surety bond and $300,000 of general liability cover. All business permits expire on 31 March 2027 regardless of when they were issued, so a permit bought late in the cycle is short. The application fee is $100 on top, and the initial license is prorated by year of the cycle at $225, $150 or $75. Continuing education is thirty-four hours per triennium. The board's own slide deck still quotes a $90 renewal; that is stale.
