Are you in the process of selecting a person or company to hire? Go to Check Out a Business Online for a one-stop site that lets you check an individual or company’s complaints history at RICO and OCP, conduct a business name search, check an individual or company’s licensing information, and check on whether the individual or company holds a general excise tax license. Or call our office at 587-3222 and we can give you information over the telephone. Also, if you’re thinking about a home improvement project, visit our Hiring a Licensed Contractor site.
