Services that need a license

Home improvement over $1,000 in labor and materials, or work that needs a permit, needs a California contractor (CSLB) license. A job split across trades counts as one.

Electrical, plumbing, heating and air, pest control, hair, nails and skin care, health care and massage, legal help, real estate, tax preparation, childcare and driving people for pay need a license or permit. An admin checks the number before the listing shows.

Members trade as independent people. NotCash does not assign work, set rates or supervise anyone.
