Business & LicensingQuestion 626 of 1605
A licensed contractor changes its business address. Under Bus. & Prof. Code §7083, the contractor must notify the CSLB Registrar within:
a.Within 30 days of the change of address
b.10 days
c.15 business days
d.90 days of the change
Explanation
Bus. & Prof. Code §7083 requires every licensee to report any change of address to the CSLB Registrar in writing within 90 days of the change. This is one of the few CSLB notification rules with a relatively long window, and the exam often tests it specifically because students assume a shorter period like 30 days. Failure to update the address can cause the licensee to miss legal notices and lead to discipline under §7090. The 10/15/30-day options are common 'gotcha' wrong answers drawn from other licensing rules.
