How long is a contractor’s license in inactive status allowed to remain?

A contractor’s license in inactive status is allowed to remain for a period of four years. This provision ensures that contractors who are not currently active in their business can maintain their professional qualifications without having to renew their licenses constantly. After the four-year period, if the license remains inactive, it may require additional steps to reactivate, reflecting the need for continued compliance with licensing standards and regulations. Understanding this timeframe is essential for contractors who may wish to pause their operations and later return to active work without starting the licensure process from scratch.
