The S330 Landscaping & Recreation license in Utah is required for contractors who engage in projects involving the following activities:
It is important to note that contracting without a license in Utah is a Class A misdemeanor.
The S330 Landscape & Recreation License in Utah focuses on projects involving landscaping and recreational facilities. This license is specifically designed for contractors working on grading, land preparation, planting, and constructing decorative and recreational structures such as swimming pools, gardens, and sports courts. While the S330 covers a wide range of activities, it does not permit electrical or plumbing trade work, which must be subcontracted to appropriately licensed professionals.
It’s important to differentiate the S330 license from other related licenses. The S330 overlaps with aspects of the S350 HVAC license, particularly where HVAC systems might be integrated into landscaping and recreation projects, but it does not cover the full scope of HVAC work. Similarly, the B100 General Contractor License includes a broader range of construction activities, including electrical, plumbing, and structural work, which are not within the S330’s scope. Understanding these distinctions help to ensure you choose the right license for your professional needs and project types.
To earn the S330 Landscaping & Recreation License in Utah, applicants must meet the following requirements:
No prior work experience is required for this license classification.
Complete a required 25-hour pre-license course. This class will cover essential topics required to pass the Business and Law exam.
Obtain general liability insurance as required by Utah state regulations and demonstrate financial responsibility by providing necessary financial statements or a surety bond. Exact coverage amounts and financial requirements may vary, but we can ensure you meet current state requirements.
Submit a completed application with necessary documentation, including proof of experience and education, and pay all required application and licensing fees. Our team is here to help you through this process.
Complete required continuing education (CE) courses to renew your license. For the S330 license, you need 6 hours of CE each renewal cycle (every two years), including 2 hours related to backflow testing and preventer installation if you actively work with and install these devices.
We can answer any questions you may have about the renewal cycle.
With an S330 license, you can work on projects involving grading, land preparation, planting, constructing decorative pools, tanks, fountains, greenhouses, fences, garden lighting (under 50 volts), sprinkler systems, retaining walls (for landscaping purposes), pergolas, patios, decking, sports courts, and more.
Yes, if you are installing sprinkler systems for landscape irrigation, you need an S330 license. However, if the sprinkler system is connected to the culinary water system, it must be separated by a backflow prevention device, and you must complete the relevant CE on backflow testing and prevention.
You cannot do electrical, plumbing, or natural gas-related trade work under the S330 license classification. Instead, you must hire or subcontract this work out to appropriately licensed professionals.
The time to obtain an S330 license can vary based on your experience, education, and how quickly you complete the required exams and submit your application. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
S330 license holders must complete 6 hours of continuing education every renewal cycle. This includes courses on green building and energy conservation, as well as 2 hours on backflow prevention.
