An expired license will have to be renewed within the specific time frames required by the individual state. California has a 5 year period before an expired licensee has to reapply to the contractor CSLB.

In order to return to an active status, the individual or organization would simply have to notify the department and complete any outstanding requirements, such as continuing education.

Date Filed
The date filed is the date that the application was received by the DBPR application intake unit.
Expires
The expiration date is the date that either the license or the application, whichever is applicable, is set to expire. For example, if an individual is licensed, they may have an expiration date of 9/30/2003. This means the individual would have to renew by that date to retain their license’s status. Renewals after this date would require payment of delinquent fees, and possibly another application for licensure.
