STATE C-27CSLB Required
Landscaping contractors operating in San Bernardino must navigate both state-level licensing through the CSLB and local municipal requirements. The C-27 license is the primary credential for professional landscaping, ensuring that contractors meet state standards for competency and financial responsibility.
At the local level, contractors must secure a business license from the City of San Bernardino and adhere to specific building codes regarding irrigation, grading, and structural elements. Compliance with water conservation ordinances is particularly critical in the Inland Empire, requiring contractors to stay updated on local drought-related regulations and permit requirements for hardscaping projects.
