The following is an overview of the contractor licenses in MPLS.
Residential Specialty Contractor. These are residential building contractors that are exempt from the State Contractor laws. MPLS is still requiring that all contractors working on homes with 1 to 4 units obtain licenses. To get this license, you must provide the city with a $10,000 per year bond and liability insurance to $300,000. This license allows homeowners with workmanship and code problems to obtain satisfaction without going to court. Commercial Cement and Masonry licenses are eliminated. Building Wrecker. Remain licenses as they were in the pass. Heating, Ventiliation and AIr Conditioning and Steam and Hot Water Installers remain licensed in MPLS. New bonding levels of $10,000 and liability insurance were added to these licenses. Plumbers and Gas Fitters remain lciensed in MPLS. Plasterer/Stucco commerical licenses are eliminated. Most licenses were not eliminated the structure of getting licensed was. It should be much easier to get a license. SIncerely, Julie A. Casey, License Inspector duties include contractor licenses and complaints. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
