Although MSBOC provides courtesy reminders, each license holder is responsible for renewing their license by the required deadline each year.
License holders must also notify the Board of any changes to contact information, including mailing and email addresses.

A commercial or residential license may be renewed up to 180 days after the expiration date.

Applicants may download, complete, and mail a renewal form, or renew online through the website.
