LOCAL RESEARCH / Mountain View
Planning your work
California’s Contractors State License Board says the threshold for work requiring a contractor licence rose from $500 to $1,000, and that a project under $1,000 still needs a licensed contractor in the appropriate classification if it requires workers or permits. Confirm with the City of Mountain View which permits your own project needs, and check the licence before work starts. This is a statewide licensing reference, not a permit decision for your address.
