If a contractor's license was issued on March 1, 2002, when must it be renewed to avoid delinquency charges?

  1. March 1, 2003

  2. March 1, 2004

  3. March 1, 2005

  4. June 1, 2004

The correct answer is: March 1, 2004

A contractor's license in California is typically valid for two years from the date it is issued. Therefore, if a license was issued on March 1, 2002, it must be renewed by March 1, 2004, to avoid any delinquency charges. Renewal after this date would incur a penalty for being overdue. The renewal deadline is crucial for maintaining an active status and ensuring compliance with state regulations. The two-year renewal cycle is designed to keep contractors updated on any changes in laws, regulations, or practices in the construction industry. Continuing to keep contractors informed and educated is important for maintaining professional standards and quality in construction work throughout the state.
