STATE C-27Landscaping
Landscaping contractors operating in Inglewood must navigate both state-level licensing through the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and local municipal requirements. A C-27 license is mandatory for any project exceeding $500, and contractors must ensure they carry the necessary surety bonds and workers' compensation insurance to remain compliant with California law.
At the local level, Inglewood requires a business tax certificate and adherence to specific building codes for hardscaping and irrigation. Contractors should proactively consult the Inglewood Building and Safety Division before starting projects involving structural elements or significant water usage to ensure all necessary permits are secured and local water conservation standards are met.
