How to check a landscaper's license in San Diego
- Look the company up by name or license number (search San Diego). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-27 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
- Confirm it live with CSLB's Instant License Check. Statuses change between our weekly refreshes, especially workers' comp and bond suspensions.
- Ask for the pocket license and a photo ID and match the name to your contract. Work of $1,000 or more needs a license (the $1,000 rule), and a down payment can't exceed $1,000 or 10% (down payment rules).
