FAQ
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.
The state mandates that any individual or business performing construction work valued at $3,000 or more must hold a valid contractor's license. This requirement applies across various classifications, including general contracting, residential/small commercial work, and specialty trades like electrical and plumbing.
Statutory Limitations Unless you specifically spell out a different time period in a contract, Utah law permits contract and warranty claims to be filed within six years of the date of completion (or abandonment) of the improvement.
The permit must be taken out by the person doing the work, the electrical contractor or the homeowner. State law does allow a homeowner of a single family residence to do his or her electrical work.
If a notice of completion has been filed with the Registry, a contractor has 90 days after “final completion of the original contract” to record its lien. However, even if a notice of completion has been filed, a contractor cannot file a lien more than 180 days after “final completion of the original contract.”
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.
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).
In Utah, all preliminary notices must be filed online using the state construction registry or SCR. This is the same website where you can find the previous preliminary notices filed on the project.
