Insurance: Not required

Notes

North Dakota has no state roofing license. Roofers on jobs over $4,000 need the Secretary of State contractor license (see general contractor Classes A-D). The City of Fargo separately requires a Re-Roofing license ($125/year, expires December 31); other cities may have their own licensing, so check the local building department.
