Understanding Different License Types

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.
