Disciplinary Action
A disciplinary action is a formal sanction issued by a state licensing board against a contractor who has violated the law, building codes, or professional regulations. Common triggers include consumer fraud, abandoning a project, unlicensed work, and repeated code violations.
- Citations and fines (minor violations)
- License suspension (temporary halt)
- License revocation (permanent cancellation)
- Probation (license retained under conditions)
- Cease and desist orders

Frequently Asked Questions
- How serious is a disciplinary action on a contractor's record?
- It depends on the type. A citation for a paperwork violation is very different from a fraud finding or license revocation. Read the full disciplinary record and look at the date — old minor violations may be less significant than recent ones.
- Can a contractor appeal a disciplinary action?
- Yes. Most state boards have an appeals process. If a contractor believes an action was filed in error, they can challenge it through the board. ContractorVetted reflects what the board's current records show.
