- Grace period
- No grace period. An application filed within 2 years after expiration is presumed to be a renewal.

Reg. 8-302.1, 8-308); the Commission must be notified 10 days before cancellation. A credit report (or credit report fee) is also required at contractor renewal. A 2-year surety bond is required only when the applicant cannot show sufficient net worth (COMAR 09.08.01.19).
