How to look up a business
Enter the name of a business or contractor as accurately as possible. Resulting listings only indicate that there is a valid license currently in effect, or license approval is pending. The business/contractor search tool is offered as a public service, not as a resource for promotion or consumer advocacy. For questions or feedback, contact Business Licensing.
What is a contractor?
Professional contractors/handypersons require a contractor's license in order to be eligible to apply for building permits or trades permits.
