California Janitorial Companies Must Register With The State

California’s Labor Commissioner’s Office has launched an online registration system for janitorial service providers and contractors operating in the state.

Janitorial companies in California are required by law to register annually.  The registration fee is $500. First time applicants must also pay a nonrefundable $500 application fee. The fee covers the cost of administering and enforcing the janitorial registration program.  The annual renewal fee is also $500
