Sting Properties Needed to Help Fight Unlicensed Contracting

CSLB has stepped up the number of undercover sting operations it conducts around the state to catch unlicensed contractors, and needs more residential and commercial properties to use as sting sites.

The stings are conducted by CSLB's Statewide Investigative Fraud Teams (SWIFT) with the assistance of state or local law enforcement agencies. Every year, investigators arrest hundreds of unlicensed contractors through these undercover operations that are staged unannounced year-round throughout the state.

Recognizing that stings are one of CSLB's most effective weapons against illegal contracting, the Board gave the go-ahead to schedule more events to flush out phony contractors in 2016.
