Common Licensing Requirements In Most States

Every state’s licensing requirements are different for handymen.

Most states do not require a license in order to handle basic repairs and improvements. However, almost all states have limitations on the services that you can provide legally without either a contracting or specialty license.

Often, state law will require specialty licenses to handle any plumbing, electrical, or HVAC services.

Additionally, there is usually a limit on the total dollar amount of a project you can handle without a license. In some states, you can only handle projects up to $500 (including materials) without a license. In other states, there is no limit!

However, even if you don’t need a contractor’s license to provide the services you want to provide, getting a business license is always a good idea and is highly recommended.
