What Kind of Contractor's License do I need?


Posted on 10/12/2014

 WHAT KIND OF CONTRACTORS LICENSE DO I NEED IN VIRGINIA?

So, by now you have probably heard that there are three different Contractors Licenses in Virginia: A, B and C. Depending on the kind of work being done, you as a contractor, fall under one of these licenses. Now, before we get into detail about what these different licenses entail, know that contractors license can only be given to a COMPANY not an INDIVIDUAL.

A few different company types are: Sole Proprietorship, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Incorporation (Inc.) and Corporation (Corp.). Also, it is very important to select the right class of license for the amount of work your company performs. If your company exceeds the limit set by the class of your License, it will be in violation of the regulations. This violation could possibly lead to the disciplinary action against the license holder.

CLASS C

Class C is lowest level of Contractor's License. A Class C License is restricted to contracts / projects that are less than $10,000, with the total amount of work performed in the twelve month period remaining below $150,000.

CLASS B

Class B is the next level up for a Contractor's License.  A Class B License is restricted to contracts / projects that are less than $120,000, with the total amount of work performed in the twelve month period remaining below $750,000.

CLASS A

Class A is the highest level for a Contractor's License. A Class A License has no restrictions on the amount of the contract size and the aggregate amount of contract work per year.
