In California, electricians must hold a state license. The state contractor licensing board is the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Electricians in California are classified as C-10 Electrical Contractors. Before hiring, you can verify a contractor's license status through the CSLB online system by searching their license number or business name.

Building permits are required for most electrical work in California. According to the California Building Standards Code, no work may be done without a permit from your local building department first. Permit requirements vary by city and county, so check with your San Francisco building department to confirm what is needed for your specific project.

When hiring an electrician, ask whether the work requires a permit and whether they will pull it. Request their license number and verify it with the CSLB before signing a contract. Get a written estimate and contract that details the scope of work, timeline, and cost.
