About Contractor License Due
Contractor License Due answers one narrow question: what a California contractor license renewal costs, and what to have ready before paying it. The answer is a PDF checklist, the same six lines for every buyer, and on the yearly plan three reminder emails timed to the last day of the month stored with the order.
This page is about method: what the site is, what it refuses to be, and how a reader can check any figure on it.
What this site is
The product is a checklist and a reminder. The checklist prints the CSLB fee table link and the number 800-321-2752, copies the sole-owner and company rows, and notes the C-10 difference. It states two limits in the file itself: the checklist does not calculate a delinquent renewal, and this site does not renew the license. The yearly plan adds three emails, 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day before the last day of the month stored with the order, and the file is emailed within 5 minutes of the payment callback marking the order paid, from support@contractorlicensedue.com.
There is no dashboard and no account to maintain. Nothing in the file is calculated from the answers typed at checkout: the same six lines go to every buyer, active or inactive, sole owner or company.
What this site is not
It is not the Contractors State License Board, not a qualifier on any license, and not a law firm. It is not a filing service: it does not file a renewal, book an appointment, call a phone line on a reader's behalf, visit a job site, introduce a contractor, sell a lead, or issue a government receipt. Buyers must be 18 or older.
The distinction is practical. A page here can say which row to read and which items to gather. It cannot tell CSLB what to do with a license, and it cannot stand between a reader and the board record. The disclaimer page states the same limits.
The rule every figure follows
Every dollar amount, date, deadline, and eligibility rule on this site traces to a page on cslb.ca.gov, and each page that quotes one prints the date the source was read. The current reading is 2026-11-14. Where this site and the official page disagree, the official page wins and the disagreement is treated as an error here, not as a matter of interpretation.
The rule has a second half: if the official page does not print a number, this site does not print one either. The fee table carries a duplicate certificate fee, and no amount is quoted for it here, because a figure the reader cannot find in the source is a figure the site invented.
When an official table contradicts itself
The fee table carries a parenthetical that does not line up with its own row: the inactive delinquent cells read renewal fee plus penalty, and no split between the two is printed beside the amount. This site does not resolve that. It copies the rows as they read, says plainly that the file does not calculate a delinquent renewal, and points at 800-321-2752, the number printed on the table, for the case where they disagree.
Any reader can run the arithmetic. The reason not to is that a calculated total would carry the table inconsistency forward and make it look like a finding of this site. The delinquent renewal fee page shows the choice in place.
How to audit a claim in minutes
Take any figure on the site. Beside it, find the read date and the source link. Open the source on cslb.ca.gov, find the row by its label, and compare the amount. The fee table, the renewals page, the forms and applications page, and the license lookup are listed together on the sources page with what each one covers.
If a figure appears with no date, or with a date older than the row it claims to copy, treat it as wrong and say so by email. A claim that cannot be audited this way does not belong on a page.
Why there is a charge
The reading is free. The checklist and the reminders cost: $39 a year, selected by default, for the file and three emails, or $19 once for this year's checklist alone. The charge does not buy the CSLB fee, which is paid to CSLB on the table, and it does not buy faster processing, an inside contact, or a decision in anyone's favor.
The price is also why support@contractorlicensedue.com answers. A site that sells nothing has no reason to keep its sources dated, and a wrong figure is what turns into a refund request. The pricing page sets out what each plan includes.
What happens to a buyer's details
The site stores the email entered, the answers typed at checkout, and a one-year visitor cookie. Card numbers stay with the payment company and are never held here. Nothing is sold to contractors, lead brokers, or advertisers, and there are no advertising cookies.
A reminder schedule can be deleted on request within 7 days; the payment record stays for accounting. The privacy page lists the fields.
Reporting an error, and what happens next
Email support@contractorlicensedue.com with the page path, the figure as it appears, and the CSLB row you compared it against. The figure is re-read against the official page. If the official page says something else, the page changes and its read date moves with it. If the official page is silent, the figure comes off the page.
That is the whole correction process, and it applies to a wrong deadline as readily as to a missing word. A reader who finds one is doing the site a favor, and the contact page says what a message needs for the fix to take one round.
Questions
Is this site part of the Contractors State License Board?
No. It is a private site that sells a checklist and, on the yearly plan, reminder emails. CSLB publishes the fee table, the renewals page, the forms page, and the license lookup that every figure here is copied from.
Will you renew the license for me?
No. The site does not file, pay, or submit anything to CSLB, and it does not act as a qualifier. You renew through the CSLB online portal or by mail, or you hire your own company for the paperwork.
How do I know a figure on a page is current?
Each page that quotes a figure prints the date its CSLB source was read, currently 2026-11-14. If the date is missing, or the row reads differently on cslb.ca.gov, the official page is right and this one needs a correction.
Do you sell my email to contractors or lead brokers?
No. The email sends the file and, on the yearly plan, the reminders. It is not sold, rented, or shown to contractors, lead brokers, or advertisers, and the site sets no advertising cookies.
Why does a free answer still cost $39?
The reading costs nothing. The $39 is for the PDF checklist and three reminder emails across the year; the $19 plan is this year's checklist only.
What happens if I report a mistake?
The figure is checked against the CSLB page and corrected, with its read date moved forward, or removed where the source does not support it. A reply comes by email to the address the message was sent from.
