What is true of an inactive contractor's license?

An inactive contractor's license must be renewed every two years. The reason for this requirement is to ensure that even if a contractor is not actively working, they are still maintaining their status and have the opportunity to reactivate their license if needed. Renewing the license periodically helps ensure that licensed contractors remain aware of changes in laws, regulations, and industry standards, which can be critical even during periods of inactivity.

Failure to renew could lead to additional complications or loss of status when the contractor decides to become active again, thus reinforcing the need for ongoing compliance with state regulations regarding contractor licensing, even in an inactive status.
