What Does a C-36 License Cover?

Does not cover

Does not include forced warm-air units (see C-20).

Hiring tip

Plumbing work requires permits in California for most projects beyond simple fixture swaps. Verify the contractor pulls permits and that all work will be inspected. Ask about warranty coverage for both parts and labor.

California law requires a contractor license for this type of work on projects valued at $500 or more (combined labor and materials). Hiring an unlicensed contractor for work requiring a license may void your consumer protections.
