Search Tip:
  • IF YOUR SEARCH RETURNED 0 RECORDS, YOU MAY WANT TO TRY SEARCHING UNDER "RESIDENTIAL BUILDERS" LICENSING BOARD.
  • When searching for a specific licensee, search either the COMPANY NAME or the INDIVIDUALS NAME; you CANNOT search both together. Enter just a few letters to do a multiple search listing if you don't know the exact way a person or company is licensed.
  • When SEARCHING by license number, ENTER NUMBERS ONLY. do not enter G or M.
  • When SEARCHING for a CLASSIFICATION only, you must enter in a CITY name.
  • Do not use any punctuation marks when searching a "Company name"
  • IF YOU ARE AN APPLICANT CHECKING THE STATUS OF YOUR APPLICATION AND THE SEARCH RETURNS "0 RECORDS", CHECK HERE FIRST TO SEE IF YOUR APPLICATION IS PENDING BEFORE CONTACTING THE LICENSING BOARD: PENDING APPLICATION CHECK.  IF YOU ARE SHOWN TO BE PENDING, YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND IS BEING PROCESSED. YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY MAIL OR FAX IF ITEMS ARE MISSING OR INCOMPLETE.
