San Francisco County tree licensure at a glance

California licenses contractors by classification and CSLB publishes one on every record, so supply can be counted exactly: 12 active C-49 and D-49 tree licenses in San Francisco County, 12 of them registered in San Francisco. CSLB also publishes a real original issue date, which Washington's registry does not, so tenure is measurable here: the median San Francisco license has been held 11 years, and the longest-standing one dates to 1993. 11 of San Francisco's 12 licenses (91.7%) carry current workers' compensation cover in CSLB's file. That is employee injury cover, not liability insurance, and a blank usually means an owner-operator with no employees - lawful, and not a mark against anyone. The contractor bond is not a signal here: 12 of the county's 12 licenses carry the same $25,000 bond California sets by statute. 1 county license reaches its expiration date within the next 90 days. CSLB cannot link straight to a license record, so every listing above shows its number for you to type into CSLB's license lookup. How we verify.
