If you are a Registrant, meaning your license is registered, your renewal date will be August 31st of an odd-numbered year.

If you are a Certificateholder, meaning your license is state-certified, your renewal date will be August 31st of an even-numbered year.

License Renewal Fees

License renewal also requires the payment of renewal fees. Renewal fees for most construction licenses are $205 (+$50 per qualified business).
