- CEvery 4 years

Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Every 2 years
CSLB contractor licenses operate on a two-year renewal cycle. Licensees must submit a renewal application and fee before the expiration date to avoid a lapse in licensure.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Five years is not the CSLB renewal period.
- C. Four years is too long and not the CSLB standard.
- D. Annual renewal is not the CSLB standard cycle.
License Renewal Cycle
CSLB contractor licenses must be renewed every two years to remain active and valid.
- Standard renewal period is 2 years
- Late renewal within 5 years allows reinstatement with penalty
- Failure to renew results in license expiration
Memory trick: 'Two years, then renew your gears.'
