2026 Electrical License Renewal Code Update Requirement
Effective March 1, 2024, the State of Ohio has adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) and will require 2026 Toledo Electrical Journeyman certificate renewal through completing a 10-hour continuing education code update class. You will need to submit a certificate of completion with the 2026 renewal application. The 15-hour NEC 2023 certification offered for the State of Michigan renewal can be substituted.
2024 Home Remodeling Contractor Code Update Requirement
As established by the Board of Control, all home improvement and remodeling contractors licensed with the City of Toledo are required to complete ten hours of continuing education each year. If the licensed contractor does not submit proof of the required hours with their annual license renewal, then they must apply as a new applicant following the requirements listed in Chapter 1313.
Failed to Renew: 2025
You are still able to renew your 2025 license until December 31, 2025 with payment of a late fee. The late fees must be included with the renewal payment.
