Contractor license information

All contractors doing construction work within the City limits and being compensated for that work must be licensed with the City. Licenses are good for one year from the day your license is issued. 

The City is now requiring all contractors to apply online for a license and permit using MyGov portal. Access the portal by selecting one of the tabs that relate to your contractor license with the City.
