- Worth noticing
- The trade list includes specialized license classes, including central vacuum systems, medical gas systems, and pool and spa maintenance.
Field notes
The interface offers both direct searches and browsing by trade or city, with a separate route for suspended licenses and a hiring guide. The trade index includes active-license counts—for example, 103,094 for general building and 28,070 for electrical—and extends into specialized classes. The site says its records are updated weekly, but the supplied page does not show the source record or a completed lookup.
