An Idaho Public Works Contractor License is required for contractors and subcontractors performing construction, repair, or reconstruction work on publicly funded projects with an estimated total cost of $50,000 or more. This includes projects funded by the State of Idaho or another political subdivision authorized to award public works contracts.
To obtain an Idaho Public Works Contractor License, applicants must pass the required exam and apply through the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses.
Applicants must also select the appropriate construction type and license class based on the work they plan to perform, their financial qualifications, and the maximum value of projects they intend to bid. For assistance, contact DOPL at 208-334-3233
