State law requires local building departments, such as SDCI, to verify contractor licenses on every construction permit. Every construction applicant must identify the project contractor license or indicate why the application is exempt from requiring a contractor. To make this easier, we have updated our Contractor Disclosure Form. The form includes common exemptions in a drop-down list that the applicant can select if they meet those criteria. The updated, streamlined form helps SDCI ensure that we have the contractor disclosure information before we issue construction permits.
For additional information, please review the updated form and the state law requiring building permit verification of contractor licenses.
