General contractor

General Contractor - no state license (none)

No license required

Texas does not issue a state license for this work. Check with your city or county.

Texas has no statewide general contractor or home improvement license. The state builder registration run by the Texas Residential Construction Commission ended when that agency was abolished on September 1, 2009. Licensing or registration, where required, is set by each city. HVAC, electrical and plumbing work is state-licensed as listed above.

Count the days to your deadline

This information is here to help you plan, not to replace the board. Fee amounts are approximate and may be out of date. Deadlines and continuing education rules change too, sometimes without much notice. Always confirm with your licensing board and its official site before you rely on a date or an amount. This is not legal advice.
