Complaint Resolution and Enforcement Actions

Complaint Resolution and Enforcement Actions

Complaint Resolutions and Enforcement Actions

The first number of the case number relates to the year in which the complaint was filed; the second number relates to the total number of complaints filed with the Board and the letter notation relates to the type of violation investigated.
“U” Unlicensed Practice
“A” Advertising
“S” Minimum Standards Violation

Due to the limitations set forth in the landscape contractors’ licensing law (N.C.G.S. 89D), the Board may have little or no jurisdiction in many complaints filed. To gain a better understanding of the outcome on any complaints, you may want to review the areas relative to the Board’s authority.  Click HERE
