Residential Building License
A residential builders license is needed to build a single-family residence, if the cost of the project is more than $2,000, including, but not limited to, labor and material, unless an exception applies. A Residential Builders License also allows you to perform remodeling on a single-family residence.
What are the requirements to getting a license?
Residential Building Contractor Requirements- Proof of four (4) years of appropriate verifiable experience in the Building industry (commercial or residential).
- Three (3) verifiable references.
- Compliance with all other state laws and regulations reasonably connected to the performance of residential building.
- Pass the Residential Building Contractor exam (pre-approval is required)
How do I obtain a license?
To apply for your license, contact the Arkansas Contractor Licensing Board (ACLB) at 501-372-4661 or visit the board website.
No continuing education is required for license renewal. Also, Residential Building Contractors have reciprocity agreements with Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana if the license has been held for at least 3 years.
With RocketCert, our education is written by a combination of professional educators and industry professionals. Our exam prep is guaranteed to help you pass the exam, and is backed with our no pass, no pay policy. We pride ourselves on providing industry leading customer service. Also, if you find a better original price on any online course that we offer, we will beat it by 10%.
Preparing to pass the State exam is a critical part of the licensing process. Failing the exam can result in substantial delays before you are able to work under your license. We will offer industry leading exam prep and all of the required books, at an unbeatable price.
After studying with RocketCert, you will be on your way to passing the required State exam(s) (see below). PSI is the testing agency responsible for administering the Arkansas Contractor Exams. They have locations set up throughout the state.
After completing all the steps above, it will be time to apply through ACLB to obtain your Arkansas Residential Building License. Have questions or concerns with this process (or just a lack of time)? Learn more about how we can assist with our Application Processing Program.
