Report Unlicensed Contractors Anonymously

SCALT has provided you the ability to report unlicensed contractors on our website without disclosing your identity. We are working with state legislators in an attempt to protect consumers--and law-abiding licensed contractors--from those who operate without a license. As we accumulate the information, we will meet with legislators and have concrete examples that prove the issue is critical. We need YOUR HELP, and we ask you to share your experiences. File an anonymous complaint here. 

You may also file a formal complaint with the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation here.
