As of September 2026, 3 for workers' comp and 9 for bond issues, out of 210 active C-10 licenses based in Huntington Beach.
15 in the 12 months to September 2026. Each needed a $25,000 bond on file before CSLB issued the license.
If you have employees, yes — California Labor Code 3700 requires it. With no employees you can currently file an exemption, but beginning January 1, 2028 (SB 1455), CSLB will require workers' comp for all active licenses; only joint-venture licenses remain exempt.
