What is the application fee for an original contractor's license in California?
Correct Answer
B) $450
Per B&P Code Section 7137, the application fee for an original contractor's license is $450.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Per B&P Code Section 7137, the application fee for an original (new) contractor's license in California is $450. This fee covers the initial application processing by the CSLB.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $330
$330 is not the correct application fee. This figure does not correspond to any standard CSLB fee for an original license.
Option C: $200
$200 understates the actual fee. This may reflect fees for other administrative actions but not an original license application.
Option D: $300
$300 is close but incorrect. The actual fee is $450; $300 is a common distractor that sounds reasonable but is not the statutory amount.
Memory Technique
Think of the application fee as '4.5 hundred' = $450. Or: 'New license, new price: four-fifty to start your career.'
