STATE C-27CSLB
Landscaping contractors in Modesto must navigate both state-level licensing requirements through the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and local municipal regulations. For any project exceeding $500, a C-27 license is mandatory, alongside proof of bonding and insurance.
Beyond state licensing, contractors must register with the City of Modesto for a business license. Projects involving structural elements like retaining walls, major grading, or complex irrigation systems often require local permits. Always consult the Modesto Building Division before starting work to ensure compliance with local water-efficiency standards and building codes.
