State Overview: General Licensing Requirements The Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) oversees contractor licensing in Utah. The state mandates that any individual or business performing construction work valued at $3,000 or more must hold a valid contractor's license.
It is illegal to hire a person who is not licensed to perform construction work on a project, unless the person is not required to be licensed. See Utah Code § 58-55-501(3).
The Utah Contractors License Requirements Business Entity Registration or SSN. Trade Name. Tax Registration. Pre-licensing Course and State Examination. Proof of Experience. License and Registration Fees. Worker's compensation insurance. General liability insurance.

Yes! It's true that many self-employed individuals, especially those who work from home, never get a business license in Utah. But if your local government finds out that you're running an unlicensed business, you might be fined, or even be prevented from doing business until you obtain the license.
Can I be my own Contractor? Pursuant to Utah State Code 55-55-305 a property owner is exempt from licensure and may engage in acts or practices included within the practice of construction trades subject to the stated circumstances and limitations within the Code.
How to Start A Corporation In Utah Name Your Corporation. Designate a Registered Agent. Submit Articles of Incorporation. Get an EIN. File the Beneficial Ownership Information Report. Write Corporate Bylaws. Hold an Organizational Meeting. Open a Corporate Bank Account.
You do not need a contractor license if your projects have a value of less than $3,000, including labor and materials. Instead, you must simply register with the DOPL if you plan to take on any projects valued at more than $1,000.
