Frequently asked questions
How do I pull every electrician in Los Angeles County?
Select classification C-10 Electrical and county Los Angeles, then run the actor. It downloads the full CSLB export for that combination and returns one record per contractor. You can select up to 10 classifications and 10 counties per run.
Does it include the contractor's bond and workers' compensation details?
Yes. With Include Bond and Workers' Compensation Details enabled, each record carries the surety company and bond number plus the workers' comp coverage type. Contractors who are exempt or self-insured are labeled accordingly instead of showing an insurer.
Can I get contractors across several counties at once?
Yes. Add multiple counties to the Counties field and the export covers all of them in a single run. Use Max Items to cap how many records you collect.
Are email addresses included?
No. The CSLB does not release contractor email addresses under California Business and Professions Code Section 27, so they are not part of the data and are never invented.
What does the status field tell me?
It reflects the current standing of the license as recorded by the CSLB, such as CLEAR for a license in good standing, or EXPIRED and SUSPENDED for licenses that are not currently valid.
