Licensing by state
Hiring a contractor in Minnesota
Statewide licence. This state licenses contractors at state level, so there is a single register to check and a licence number that means something everywhere in the state.
Who licenses
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), Construction Codes and Licensing Division (CCLD)
What to do before you hire in Minnesota
- Ask for the licence number and check it yourself against Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), Construction Codes and Licensing Division (CCLD). A contractor who will not give you the number is telling you something.
- Get the full scope and price in writing before any money changes hands, and never pay the full amount up front.
