Yes. Your Utah contractor license authorizes you statewide, but St. George also requires a local business license before you can legally operate within city limits. Contact us for additional info.
Yes, your Utah DOPL license is valid statewide, including Washington County cities like Washington City, Hurricane, and Santa Clara. However, many municipalities (including St. George) require separate city business licenses to operate within their limits. Contact us with any questions you have about this.
All contractors must apply through the City of St. George Building Department. Permits are only issued to licensed contractors with active city and state licensing. Projects like new builds, remodels, and electrical or plumbing work require permits before work can begin. Reach out if you’d like us to handle the application process for you.
While Utah state licensing sets baseline requirements, St. George enforces proof of general liability insurance and often verifies workers’ compensation compliance. Failure to maintain active insurance may result in permit holds or license suspension at the city level. Get required licensing through our partner, Integrated Companies.
Out-of-state contractors may bid, but they must first obtain a Utah contractor license through reciprocity (if available) or by completing the Utah licensing process. They will also need a St. George city business license before signing contracts or performing work locally. We offer licensing for out-of-state contractors.
Yes. Every subcontractor—whether in electrical, plumbing, drywall, or others—must be licensed individually with Utah DOPL. General contractors in St. George are responsible for verifying that all subs they hire hold valid state and city licenses. Need additional licensing? Contact us.
Yes. Similar to other Utah cities, St. George requires contractors to display their Utah DOPL license number on contracts, bids, and public advertisements to prevent unlicensed contracting and to protect consumers.
Projects like residential remodels, roofing, and concrete work are commonly flagged if performed without proper licensing. The city actively investigates complaints and can issue stop-work orders or fines for unlicensed contractors. Need to get licensed? Contact us.
