Tennessee Contractors License & Exam Prep
Obtain or Renew Your Tennessee Contractor's License
A contractor's license is required in Tennessee for construction project's over $25,000. A Tennessee contractor license is also required for all plumbing and electrical work. Most license classifications in Tennessee will require passing two exams: business and law exam, and the construction/trade exam. Certain licenses in Tennessee (such as roofing, fuel gas, framing, drywall & more) can be obtained by passing only the business and law exam, whereas the limited license electrician and limited license plumber classifications will only require the passing of a trade exam. The Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors is responsible for setting the requirements and administering licenses. Find more details on the Tennessee contractor exams and licensing requirements below.
