Due to the impacts of Hurricane Helene throughout many parts of South Carolina, the Contractor's Licensing Board authorized a one-time extension of the renewal deadline for general contractor licenses on October 17, 2024. The 2024-2026 renewal deadline for general contractors has been extended through December 31, 2024. All general contractor licenses will remain active during this time and no late renewal penalties will be assessed. Beginning January 1, 2025, licenses that have not been renewed will be lapsed and subject to a renewal late fee schedule.
