Louisiana Contractor License Lookup

Pain points

• The LSLBC portal only lets you check one Louisiana contractor at a time — there's no way to pull the whole list.
• There's no official structured export, so the data isn't usable for lead-gen, CRM enrichment, or market analysis as-is.
• Compiling Louisiana contractors by parish, trade, or status by hand doesn't scale.

What we solve

• Download the entire Louisiana LSLBC roster — 50,000+ commercial, residential, and specialty licenses — in one run.
• Get clean structured JSON: company, classifications, qualifying party, parish, status, dates, phone, and email.
• Filter by license type, status, or parish; pay per record returned, never for empty results.

Summary

Get every active and expired Louisiana contractor license in one run. The LSLBC free bulk roster delivers 50,000+ records — company name, classifications, qualifying parties, parish, status, dates, phone, and email — with no auth, no CAPTCHA, and no per-record charge.

Who it's for

• Lead-gen and B2B sales teams targeting Louisiana contractors
• Building-material suppliers and distributors prospecting by trade and parish
• Insurance underwriters and surety/bond agencies sizing the LA contractor market
• Background-check, compliance, and license-verification vendors

How to use

{
  "contractorTypes": [
    "commercial"
  ],
  "statusFilter": "Active",
  "maxResults": 500

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

You pay per result (dataset-item) — no charge for empty runs. Example: 500 license records at $0.004/result ≈ $2.00.

Illustrative — final per-result price set at publish time; Apify platform usage billed separately.

Use cases

• Build lead lists of active Louisiana contractors by trade, parish, or license type for B2B sales and marketing
• Verify contractor license status and expiration before awarding subcontracts or insurance coverage
• Enrich construction-industry databases with qualifying-party names, classifications, and contact details

Why this actor

• Straight from the official LSLBC roster — authoritative, regularly refreshed, not a stale third-party copy.
• Whole-database export, not one-at-a-time lookups; filter by contractor type, status, or parish.
• Pay per record returned; filtered runs that match nothing are free.

Limitations & updates

Data reflects the LSLBC public roster at time of run; license status changes are only captured on the next run. The actor fetches the full roster CSV — all 50,000+ rows — so runs with no filters will be larger and slower than filtered runs.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The official Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) public roster — authoritative license data, no third-party copy.

Can I get the whole state?

Yes — it returns the full LSLBC roster (50,000+ licenses), not a sample. Use the filters to narrow it.

What can I filter by?

Contractor type (commercial, residential, home improvement, mold remediation), status, and parish. Use maxResults to bound a run.

What fields do I get?

License number, company name, status, contractor type, parish, city, phone, email, classifications, and qualifying party.

How is it priced?

Per record returned (a dataset item). Filtered runs that match no records are free.
