In California, electricians must hold a state license issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). The license type for electrical work is C-10 (Electrical Contractor). Before hiring, you can verify a contractor's license status at the CSLB online license check tool—search by license number, business name, or owner name to confirm the license is active and review any complaint history.

Building permits are typically required for electrical work in San Francisco. According to California Building Standards Code, most construction, alteration, or repair work requires a separate permit from your local building department. Check with the City and County of San Francisco building department for the specific permit requirements for your project, as rules vary by location and scope of work.

When vetting an electrician, ask whether the work will require a permit and confirm they will pull it. Verify their C-10 license through CSLB before signing a contract. Request references and get a written estimate that details the scope of work and timeline.
