Colorado is a great place to start your contract business. Not only is it a beautiful country, but state laws also offer unique opportunities for new entrepreneurs. However, the requirements you must meet before you can legally work in Colorado can be intimidating. A contractor`s licence or certificate of registration is required to carry out construction work within the city limits of Englewood. Any person, corporation, partnership, association, or organization that agrees to perform the construction in exchange for compensation must obtain a contractor`s license and make an affidavit of legal residency or presence in the United States. Anyone applying for a Class A, B, C or CCV licence must pass an exam. The Construction Division only accepts CCI licences. There are different contractual licenses, depending on the type of work you want to do. The three classes the Colorado Entrepreneur Training Center focuses on include: Teller County accepts ICC exams for Class A, B, and C licenses. Teller County requires letters of reference for the candidate. You will also need to submit financial letters with reference number 1 from the bank and one from a major construction supplier. You must register your company with the SECRETARY of State co. If the applicant holds an equivalent license in El Paso County or the Pikes Peak Regional Department of Construction, a copy of that license may be submitted in lieu of proof of an ICC exam.

The Town of Bennett issues 7 types of permits: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, ROW, Plumbing and Electrical. Plumbing and electricity are registrations, not licenses. All licenses must provide proof of general liability insurance totaling $600,000 and $300,000 for each event, as well as workers` compensation insurance. The Town of Bennett must be registered as the holder of the certificate. You may also need to apply for a building permit (Class A, Class B, Class B2 and Class C). This requires a notarized experience letter, an affidavit, and proof that you have passed the International Code Council exam in the form of an ICC exam letter. Once you have passed the exam and your application has been processed, you are ready to get your contractor`s license! Most offices require you or a specific person to pick up your permit. Only the persons listed in the submitted documents can retrieve the license card. Construction contracts in the city of Basalt require a valid license. Applications must include a Contractor`s Liability Insurance Certificate, Workers` Compensation Insurance (if the Contractor has no employees, a waiver of workers` compensation insurance may be submitted to the City), and a copy of the results of successful completion of the ICC exam within the last 3 years. There is a training requirement for extraction permits for general contractors that are subject to the Sustainable Construction Regulation (SBR).

City Council updated the SBRs and added a continuing education requirement for 2 hours of BRS-related training in the 18 months prior to approval of approval. Whether you need to register with the state or your local municipal licensing office, here`s what you need to know about registering and licensing Colorado contractors. A contractor`s license bond costs a small percentage of the required bond – usually 1% to 10% until there is a good credit score and the underwriting process classifies you as low risk. For example, a $20,000 bond costs a fixed fee of about $200 to $2,000. Licenses for electricians are available on the Colorado Electrical Board website, and plumbing contractor licenses can be purchased on the Colorado Plumbing Board website. You must obtain a Colorado contractor`s license to legally perform contract work on commercial buildings, residential buildings, and family homes where you do not reside in the state of Colorado. There are different agencies through which you can register depending on the type of work you want to do. The Town of Thornton requires a licence for all contractors involved in the redesign, repair and development of buildings and structures. Applicants for Class A, B, C, D and roofing permits must demonstrate that they are qualified to perform the work under this class of permit.

Applicants must provide proof of successful completion of the test results or a reciprocal license from another Colorado community. The Town of Thornton accepts Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Centennial, Commerce City, Craig, Denver, Englewood, Fort Collins, Littleton, Longmont, Loveland, Mesa County (Grand Junction), Park Count, Pikes Peak (Colorado Springs) Sterling and Wheat Ridge W11, 12 and 13. Many cities require ICC National Standard Builders exams not only for contractor licenses, but also for other certifications. Below are some general requirements for Colorado communities, but please note that this is not an exhaustive list. Please contact your local regulatory body to review the latest licensing requirements. When you get your license, you immediately have a higher earning potential for job allocation. This increased potential is due to the fact that you can only legally perform minor repair work without a license, such as grouting, waterproofing, and door framing. With a contractor`s license, you can build things, renovate, and even buy special licenses for plumbing and electrician work. Customers are likely to pay more money for a licensed professional than for an unlicensed craftsman, so you can make more profits.
