These figures are not interchangeable: the contractor license, individual plumber licenses and unlicensed registration have different renewal cycles and fees. The report does not establish whether separate downloadable renewal forms exist or provide a complete list of supporting documents.

• Reported renewal fee: $150.20.
• Renewal by mail uses the renewal card with a check or money order in the reported example.
• Current surety-bond or assigned-account and general-liability information are reported as renewal requirements.
