Steps
Determine the contract value of the electrical portion of the sign job; Louisiana requires an electrical specialty contractor license once electrical work (wiring, fixtures, equipment) exceeds $10,000.
Pull the current classification/subclassification list from LSLBC's Exams & Classifications page to confirm the applicable electrical subclassification in effect now, since LSLBC updates this list periodically.
Confirm the contractor has passed both the Business & Law exam and the Electrical Trade exam based on the NEC edition currently adopted by LSLBC.
Verify active license status and bonding via the LSLBC public license search.
Check whether the sign's structural/fabrication scope independently triggers a separate building or specialty classification beyond the electrical threshold.
Known gotchas
The $10,000 electrical-work threshold is a state licensing trigger, not a blanket rule; smaller sign electrical jobs may still require local permitting even without a state specialty license.
The exact sign-related subclassification name changes periodically; always pull the current LSLBC classification list rather than reusing an old one.
