Indiana General Contractors License

Michaeljp86

I live in michigan right above the indiana border and have my residential builders license for michigan and was thinking it might be a good idea to look into getting a license for indiana. Does anyone have a license for indiana or know what kind of license they have? I looked on the indiana website and couldnt find anything. I also googled it and didnt come up with much. I would appreciate any info anyone has on it.

Thanks alot

don't need one for state.Most towns make you get one.I showed proof of insurance and comp charge 25-50 bucks then you are off.

beats me I don't live in michigan.When I was getting my insurance and comp I looked into state lic.I was told if I'm not a plumber or electrician it's on the town.
Portage wanted insurance,bond,comp and 25 bucks.good for a year.westville was even cheaper.Laporte I think was 35,Michigan city was 30 or 40,valpo was 50 or 60 I forget what most are.

Thats the only thing I came acroos on googling it I do know you dont need a license to do roofing in IN but anything else I dont know.

Just read this on thats site

We carry all of the approved references for the Indiana General Construction license exam. Indiana licenses at the city or county level; individuals should contact the city/county they wish to become licensed in for information regarding which exam is required.

so it looks like each county or city has its own license.

pretty much what I was told.good luck.

Only plumbers are required to hold licenses in Indiana on the state level.

All other requirements vary, and are obtained at the city/local level.

In Indianapolis, General Contractors are required to be licensed but there is no testing. Requirements are for insurance (GL & WC) and bond.
