Hoisting licenses must be renewed every 2 years. Licenses are eligible to be renewed 60 days prior to their expiration. At 60-days prior to expiration, the Office of Public Safety will send out a copy of your renewal form by email and by mail. You may utilize these forms to apply or complete an application through the online portal.
