In California, plumbers must hold a C-36 state license from the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Before you hire, verify the contractor's license and check for any complaints. You can search by license number or business name on the CSLB website at cslb.ca.gov. A California contractor license number contains only digits and appears on the contractor's pocket license.

Most plumbing work in Los Angeles requires a building permit from the Department of Building and Safety. Check with your local building department about permit requirements for your specific project—code requirements vary by location. The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety website at ladbs.org provides information on permits and has an online permit system.

When hiring a plumber, ask for their license number and verify it before signing a contract. CSLB recommends reviewing the terms of your contract carefully and understanding what work is covered. You should also ask whether your project will need a permit and who is responsible for obtaining it.
