About each permit
Contractor License
Nine hundred dollars in total to get started — a $300 non-refundable application fee and, once approved, a further $600 for the two-year license itself. Electrical and plumbing are not split off to separate boards here: they are simply two of the board's own classifications, plumbing and heating as C-1 and electrical as C-2, alongside the general engineering (A) and general building (B) classes and forty-two further specialty categories. A surety bond is required on every license, set anywhere from $1,000 to $500,000 depending on the classification, the monetary limit requested and the applicant's financial standing — a monetary limit above $10,000 requires a CPA-prepared financial statement rather than the board's own simplified form. A residential pool and spa contractor needs an additional consumer protection bond of $10,000 to $400,000 on top.
