And in Other News...

1. INCREASED LICENSE REQUIRMENT...

CSLB announced on January 1, 2025 that the License Requirement has been increased from $500.00 to $1,000.00. This means that a License is NOT required on a job UNDER $1,000.00 (as long as no Permit is required, and no Employees are used). This increase was set up to allow for pricing increases in the economy.

2. EXAM SCHEDULING MADE EASY...

The CSLB's Exam Scheduling System requires Applicants to log in to the PSI Exams website, once you receive the Exam Scheduling Letter, and choose the Exam Date and Location that you wish. You can take Both Exams on the same day, or split them up if you prefer!

There is a charge of $51.43 for the Law Exam, and a separate fee of $51.43 for the Trade Exam, paid to PSI Exams directly on their website.

Contact our office before scheduling your Exam to coordinate scheduling with your Classes, and then you can schedule your Exam easily on your own on the PSI website (we can help with the process if you find it confusing).

3. EASIER EXAM RESCHEDULING...

The CSLB's Exam Rescheduling System allows Applicants to Reschedule an Exam that was failed directly on PSI Exam's website. The fee is now paid directly to PSI Exams rather than the CSLB. The fee to Reschedule an Exam is $51.43 for each Exam that has been failed, and the Exam must be at least 21 days after the first Exam taken. 

If you have questions or need help Rescheduling an Exam, call our office and we'll be happy to  help out.

4. REQUIRED WORKERS COMP INSURANCE...

CSLB requires the following Classifications to carry a mandatory Workers Compensation Insurance Policy even if you don't have any Employees, if you are planning to have an Active Contractors License..

The following Classifications MUST carry a Workers Compensation Policy as an Active License requirement:

C08          Concrete

C20          HVAC

C22          Asbestos Abatement

C39          Roofing

C49          Trees and Palms 

C61-D49  Tree Service

If no Work Comp Policy is provided, the License Classification will be removed from the License.

In January of 2028, ALL Licensed Contractors will be required to carry a Workers Compensation Policy even if they don't have Employees in order to have an Active License.

5. LOS ANGELES
WILDFIRE RELIEF

If you are still planning on providing some form of relief to the homeowners and businesses that have been wiped out in the Los Angeles area Wildfires, be aware of the following important information:

CSLB and State Law limits the amount you can increase your normal pricing.  State Law allows a Contractor to increase prices only by 10% over your regular pricing. Because victims of the fire are left with nothing, it is illegal to raise prices more than 10% which would take advantage of their vulnerable situation.

If you're planning on getting a Contractors License with plans to help out with the Wildfire Recovery efforts, be aware that it generally takes about three months from start to finish to obtain a new Contractors License.

Watch the news and stay up to date on the ways you may be
able to help, and be mindful that a Contractors License is
especially important regarding Disaster Relief.
