What is a California Swimming Pool Contractor’s License Bond?
According to California Code of Regulations Title 16, Division 8, Article 3. A Swimming Pool Contractor is classified as C-53 license class and constructs swimming pools, spas or hot tubs, including the installation of solar heating equipment. Effective January 1st, 2016, the California contractor’s license bond requirement has been increased from $12,500 to $15,000 per Senate Bill 467. The California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) requires all businesses or individuals who construct or alter, or offer to construct or alter, any building, highway, road, parking facility must be licensed and if the total cost (labor and materials) of one or more contracts on the project is $500 or more. Other contractors, such as plumbers or landscapers, should work within their license classification, and cannot be responsible for the overall project. Landscape contractors may contract for a swimming pool, if it is part of a larger landscaping project.
