If the ROC issues a citation against a license, how many days does the licensee have to file a response?

When the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) issues a citation against a licensee, the licensee is mandated to respond within a specific timeframe to ensure due process is upheld. The required response period is 15 days from the date of the citation. This timeframe allows the licensee to adequately prepare a response, which is essential for addressing the allegations or issues raised in the citation. Understanding this timeline is critical for licensees to avoid default judgments or further disciplinary actions. Complying promptly with the ROC requirements ensures that the licensee retains their right to contest the citation and seek resolution through the appropriate channels.
