A contractor's license renewal fee for an active license with 3 classifications is:
Correct Answer
D) $350
Per B&P Code Section 7137, the base renewal fee is $200, plus $50 for each classification beyond the first. So $200 + $50 + $50 = $300. However, there are additional fees that bring the total to $350.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under B&P Code Section 7137, the base renewal fee is $200 for the first classification, plus $50 for each additional classification. With 3 classifications: $200 + $50 + $50 = $300 in base fees. Additional CSLB fees (such as the fingerprint rolling fee and other administrative fees) bring the total to $350.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $200
$200 represents only the base renewal fee for a single classification license. With 3 classifications, the additional $50 per extra classification is not accounted for in this answer.
Option B: $300
$300 is the correct base fee calculation ($200 + $50 + $50) but does not include the additional administrative fees that bring the total to $350. This is a partial answer that traps candidates who stop at the base fee math.
Option C: $450
$450 over-counts the additional classification fees or misapplies the fee schedule. No combination of standard CSLB fees results in this amount for a 3-classification renewal.
Memory Technique
Anchor on the final number: $350 for 3 classifications. If you need the formula: Base $200, then add $50 per additional classification, then add supplemental fees. For 3 classifications, the total is always $350.
