What are the fees associated with a contractor's license?

The fees associated with a contractor's license vary depending on the type of license and the classification. For individuals applying for an original license, the application fee is $300. However, the exact amount may vary if fingerprints are required. Additionally, there is an initial licensing fee depending on the classification, ranging from $180 to $300. Renewal fees for existing licenses are $450, while late renewals cost $225 extra. Adding a new classification to an existing license incurs an additional fee of $200. Moreover, contractors must pay a $200 fee for each replacement pocket license. For added convenience, there is an online payment feature available on the official CSLB website. It is important to note that these fees are subject to change, so it is necessary to stay updated through the CSLB website to obtain accurate and current fee information.
