After passing the qualifying exams for an original contractor’s license, the board requires you to complete the licensing steps by submitting the initial license fee and the required license bond. There is a strict 90-day deadline from the date of the notice to finish this filing. In this case, the notice is dated October 1, so the latest you can submit both the fee and the bond is December 30. This deadline helps keep the licensing process moving and ensures protection for the public by promptly securing the bond and license funds.
