Utah: under $7,000 a job without a contractor license (filing over $3,000)
In Utah a job under $7,000 needs no state contractor license (over $3,000, a one-time insurance filing with the state). Plumbing, electrical and HVAC: state license. Read from Utah's own pages, checked November 6, 2026.
The limit in Utah
The limit: Under $7,000 per job; over $3,000, a one-time insurance filing with the state. In short: under $7,000 per project, labor + materials incl. change orders; over $3,000 you must file a one-time insurance affirmation with DOPL.
What counts: "a contracted or agreed value of less than $7,000, including both labor and materials, and including all changes or additions to the contracted or agreed upon work" Materials count toward the limit, not just your labor.
Conditions: if the total project value is greater than $3,000, file a one-time affirmation with DOPL of public liability insurance (and workers comp if applicable); plumbing/electrical system work must be done by a licensed plumbing/electrical contractor (components like faucets, toilets, outlets, switches may be done by a licensed journeyman); HVAC installation/repair/replacement must be done by a DOPL-licensed HVAC contractor; gas appliance/combustion, alarm, and radon mitigation work need the appropriate license; subject to 58-1-401(2), 58-55-501 and 58-55-502 (unlawful/unprofessional conduct)
Amount raised to $7,000 in the version effective 5/7/2025.
