How to become a Licensed Contractor Header

STEP 7- BOARD REVIEW

Board Interview

An interview with a Board member is usually required. The interview is informal and takes no longer than 30 minutes. However, due to scheduling volume, waiting time could take one to three hours. Contractors are generally interviewed by a Board member who is familiar with the type of license requested. For example, an electrical contractor will be interviewed by a Board member experienced in the electrical field. Therefore, some contractors will be seen earlier. The application is reviewed and general questions will be asked about contracting experience and to make sure the license classification covers your type of projects. You may use this time to ask the Board member advice or the staff questions concerning the licensing law. You may request your license I.D. number at this time. There is not a required dress code. Board Meeting Schedule

Waiver of Interview

The contractor’s interview may be waived if the following criteria are met: Owner passed the exam; three or more years of experience is listed; and application was received before the deadline (all applications received on or after the deadline date will be waived as time allows). Waived applicants will not be approved for a license until after the Board meets!

Interview is required for all BC-A/r applicants; those who checked "Have/Has" on the "Contractor's Affidavit" for bankruptcy, felony, bidding violations, etc., those where only a full time employee, without majority (20%) ownership, took the exam; and those with limited experience may be scheduled to appear for an interview with a Board member.

Do not contract or offer to bid until a contractor's license has been approved.
