At Licenses Etc., we take pride in sharing relevant and important contractor and contractor licensing information with our clients and community.
For this article, we wanted to share some information regarding contractor licensing:
- A person that performs contracting without being licensed as a contractor can be charged with a 1st degree misdemeanor for the 1st offense and a 3rd degree felony for any offense after being found guilty of unlicensed contracting.
- Contracting without a license during a state of emergency is a felony in the third degree.
- Individuals advertising in various newspapers and the phone books must have their contractor license number in the advertisement.
- If a person who is advertising states licensed and insured in their advertisement but fails to put their contractor license number in the advertisement, there is a good chance that they are not properly licensed.
- A contractor must list their license numbers in all forms of advertisements and on their business cards, contracts, invoices, and proposals.
- If a contractor has their business name on their vehicle, they must list their contractor license number on their vehicle.
- Contracts written by unlicensed contractor are unenforceable by law.
