Check with your city or county

Local rules vary. Before you start work, or before you hire someone, ask the city or county building or licensing office where the job is:

• whether a local contractor license or registration is needed;
• which permits the job needs and who must pull them;
• what insurance or bond the local office requires.

Some related work may still need a state license, for example electrical or plumbing work. See the state guide below.

State rules that may still apply

The only construction contractors licensed by the State of Indiana are plumbers. Many other trades need local licenses, which vary by city and county. (source: IN.gov: Business Owner's Guide (opens in a new tab))
