Kentucky to Maryland: residential contractor license reciprocity

No credit· Start overVerified September 17, 2026· 26 sources

Kentucky does not issue a statewide residential contractor license, so there is nothing to transfer. Here is Maryland's standard path for out-of-state applicants.

Your origin state does not issue a statewide license at this level, so there is no license to transfer. The destination's standard out-of-state path is shown; expect to meet it in full.

Reference only, not legal advice. Rules change; confirm with the licensing board before you apply. Full disclaimer.

Everyone sits the Maryland exam; out-of-state experience counts toward the two-year requirement

Your out-of-state credentials give no advantage. You meet the destination's requirements from scratch.

The Maryland Home Improvement Commission publishes no reciprocity and no endorsement route. Its own answer is plain: 'The Maryland Home Improvement Commission does not offer reciprocity with any other states because each licensee must demonstrate knowledge of Maryland laws and regulations.' A contractor licensed elsewhere must still hold an MHIC license to solicit or perform home improvement work in Maryland, and that is true even with no Maryland office. What does carry over is the work behind the license: the two-year requirement is met with 'proof of at least two years of experience in home improvement work, construction and/or related education', and the application asks for a record of experience with the dates and addresses where the applicant has resided and done business, so years earned in another state count. The order of steps matters. You register with PSI and pass the 55-question contractor examination first, with a 70 percent passing score and a two-hour computer-based sitting at a Maryland test center; PSI then sends the license application. The package is the application with a $281.25 fee, a $22.50 processing fee, the $100 Guaranty Fund assessment, a personal financial statement, three months of personal bank statements, a full individual credit report, a certificate of $500,000 general liability insurance naming MHIC as certificate holder, trade name registration and corporate documents from the Department of Assessments and Taxation, and a photo. A passing exam score expires after two years if no application follows.

There is one narrow route where another state's license does something. Under the Veterans Full Employment Act of 2013, a service member, veteran discharged within the past year, or military spouse who holds a valid home improvement contractor license in good standing from another state, has established Maryland residence or a Maryland duty station, and files the full application with the fees may receive an expedited temporary contractor license while preparing to sit the MHIC exam. The exam is deferred, not waived. Service members also receive credit for relevant military experience, training or education toward the two-year trade experience requirement. A failed exam may be retaken after 30 days, and after 60 days for each attempt after that, with the fee payable each time. The Commission does not publish a dollar threshold for its financial solvency guidelines; ask the licensing team at 410-230-6231 before assuming a figure. An applicant that is incorporated or has its principal office in another state pays Maryland the fee that state charges a similar nonresident business if that fee is higher than Maryland's, at application and at every renewal.

What you must already have

  • You must document at least 2 years of qualifying work experience.Maryland states the requirement in years, not hours. Experience earned outside Maryland counts: Bus. Reg. §8-303(b)(8) requires the application to carry 'a record of the applicant's experience in the field of home improvement or other construction work, including dates when and addresses where the applicant has resided and done business', and nothing in the title limits qualifying work to Maryland. Relevant military experience, training or education counts under the Veterans Full Employment Act of 2013.
  • The application asks whether the applicant has ever held a professional or vocational license in this or any other state, and whether any such license has been denied, suspended or revoked. Disclose the out-of-state license and its status even though it earns no exam waiver.Bus. Reg. §8-303(b)(10) and (11). The Commission may also ask for information about the applicant's character, experience and financial stability under §8-303(c).
  • Any applicant with a felony conviction, or a misdemeanor conviction relating to a home improvement transaction, must give the Commission a true-test copy of the conviction record from the clerk of the court where the conviction occurred.The Commission weighs the nature of the crime, its relationship to licensed activities, the relevance of a felony to fitness to provide home improvement services, the time since the conviction and the applicant's behavior before and after it. A person convicted of contracting without a license may be licensed if all outstanding obligations are settled and one year has passed since the conviction.
  • No examination passed in another state, and no license held in another state, substitutes for the Maryland contractor examination. The Commission offers no reciprocity with any state and the statute contains no equivalence or waiver provision.Bus. Reg. §8-302(a) requires the applicant to pass the examination before submitting an application, and §8-302(f)(2) requires the examination to test both knowledge of the home improvement law and competency to engage in the occupation. Maryland is not one of the agencies that accept the NASCLA Accredited Examination.

What you'll do to get licensed in Maryland

  1. 1Law / code exam. Pass a law, rules, or code exam. Maryland Home Improvement Contractor examination, administered by PSI Examination Services: 55 questions, two hours, computer-based, passing score 70 percent, based on the laws and regulations governing the operation of a home improvement business and the sale of home improvement work. Test centers are in Baltimore, College Park, Salisbury, Frederick, Hagerstown, Lanham and Crofton, with appointments Monday through Friday. Register with PSI on 1-800-367-1565 or through its website by selecting Maryland and then MD Home Improvement. Content is drawn from the 5th edition of the Contractors Guide to Business, Law and Project Management, and community colleges offer optional prep courses. A passing score expires if no license application follows within two years..
  2. 2Trade exam. Pass the destination's trade exam. The same single examination also serves as Maryland's competency test. Business Regulation §8-302(f)(2) requires the examination to test both the applicant's knowledge of the law about home improvement and the applicant's competency to engage in the licensed occupation, so there is no separate trade paper to sit and none to be waived. It cannot be satisfied by an examination passed in another state..
  3. 3Exam fee. Pay the exam fee ($63). Standard PSI examination fee, payable each time the examination is taken.
  4. 4Application fee. Pay the application fee ($281.25). Original contractor license application fee for a two-year license, in effect since August 1, 2024. An additional $281.25 is charged for each additional company location. Renewal is also $281.25 every two years..
  5. 5Application fee. Pay the application fee ($22.50). Processing fee charged with an original contractor license application.
  6. 6Other. Home Improvement Guaranty Fund assessment, paid before the Commission issues the license. The Fund compensates homeowners for actual losses caused by a licensed contractor, up to the amount the homeowner paid that contractor and no more than $30,000 per claimant and $250,000 across all claimants for one contractor. The assessment is $175 at each two-year renewal, and the Commission may levy a further $50 assessment, capped at $150 in a calendar year, if pending claims threaten to take the Fund below $1,000,000. A license is suspended if an assessment goes unpaid for 60 days. ($100).
  7. 7Financial responsibility. Show financial responsibility. Proof of financial solvency judged on the applicant's personal assets: a completed MHIC Personal Financial Statement, three months of recent personal bank statements and a full individual credit report from a Commission-approved agency, with a co-owner signature page where assets are jointly owned. The Commission weighs total assets, liabilities and net worth against the scope and size of the business, does not count business assets, and publishes no dollar threshold; call the licensing team on 410-230-6231 before assuming a figure. Financial information filed with the Commission is confidential and is not a public record. A credit report is required again at every renewal..
  8. 8Surety bond. Post a surety bond ($30,000) (if applicable). Surety bond, required only if the applicant does not meet the financial solvency guidelines. The Commission publishes bond templates in two amounts, $30,000 and $100,000, and its application checklist tells an applicant who is short of solvency by $30,000 to execute the $30,000 bond. An indemnitor may be used instead of a bond. The Commission decides which remedy and which amount fits a given shortfall, so confirm the figure with the licensing team before buying a bond..
  9. 9Insurance. Carry the required insurance ($500,000). General liability insurance of at least $500,000, required of applicants and licensees alike since June 1, 2024 under Business Regulation §8-302.1. The certificate holder box must read MHIC, 100 S Charles St., Tower 1, Baltimore, MD 21201. The coverage must be in force at all times, proof is filed again at every renewal, the Commission may not renew without it, and the contractor must notify the Commission at least 10 days before any cancellation takes effect. Several older pages on the Commission's website still show a $50,000 figure; the statutory minimum is $500,000..
  10. 10Business license. Obtain a business license. Registration with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, which out-of-state contractors must complete as well. A corporate applicant files its articles of incorporation and a Certificate of Good Standing with the application. A contractor trading under a trade name must first clear the name with the Commission, because a name identical or confusingly similar to an existing licensee's will be refused, then register it with SDAT and file the certificate of trade name registration with the license application..
  11. 11Other. A personal photograph with the application: a clear copy of a driver's license or a photograph of the applicant is accepted..
  12. 12Other. Home Builder registration if you will build new homes. The MHIC license does not cover new home construction; the Maryland Home Builder Registration Act requires anyone acting as a home builder to register with the Home Builder Registration Unit of the Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division, 200 St. Paul Place, Baltimore MD 21202, 410-576-6573 or 877-259-4525. Initial registration is $800 with an application, an information form for each principal and a legal proceedings form where applicable; renewal is $400, $800 or $1,200 depending on how many permits were issued in the preceding year, and a sales representative registers for $300. A builder that constructs new homes for sale to the public must carry at least $100,000 in general liability insurance. There is no builder examination. (if applicable).
  13. 13Other. A county new home builder license where you will build. Montgomery County Code Chapter 31C requires a Montgomery County Building Contractor's New Home Builder's License before contracting to build a new home there, and the county states that a Maryland-issued license does not excuse it: the application carries an $805 non-refundable fee plus a $250 State Guaranty Fund fee, three material supplier references, a bank reference, $500,000 liability insurance and workers' compensation, and a description of building experience, and is approved by a five-member Board of Registration in about 45 to 60 days. Prince George's County requires its own Building Contractor's License, approved by a Board of Registration for Building Contractors, to build any new residential home from the ground up. Neither county holds an examination. (if applicable).

Published fees on this path total $366.75, excluding exam-vendor fees, bonds, and insurance.

How Maryland licenses residential contractors

Maryland residential contractor · “Maryland Home Improvement Contractor License (MHIC)”

Statewide license

Verified September 17, 2026· 12 sources

Issued by Maryland Home Improvement Commission (Maryland Department of Labor, Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing)

Maryland's homes tier is the Home Improvement Contractor license issued by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission, and despite its name it is a real competency license rather than a bare registration: the applicant passes a state examination, documents two years of experience, proves financial solvency with a personal financial statement and a full credit report, pays into the Home Improvement Guaranty Fund and carries $500,000 in general liability insurance. The license is held by a person. An individual sits the exam and meets the financial test, and Maryland requires that 'each MHIC licensed business must have an individual who holds an MHIC license and meets the requirements for licensure', so a business is qualified by its licensed individual much as a qualifying party works elsewhere. The license covers the alteration, remodeling, repair or replacement of a residence, condominium units and adjacent work such as decks, driveways, fences, garages and pools, and it covers apartment buildings of three or fewer units. It does not cover building a new home: new home construction is registered separately with the Home Builder Registration Unit of the Office of the Attorney General under the Maryland Home Builder Registration Act, and in Montgomery County and Prince George's County a builder also needs that county's own new home builder or building contractor license. An MHIC licensee does not need the state construction license described at the general level. Maryland eliminated its home improvement subcontractor license in 2016, so a subcontractor may work unlicensed for an MHIC-licensed contractor, but only a licensed contractor may contract with the homeowner.

How local licensing works in Maryland

The MHIC license is statewide, and no Maryland county or city issues its own home improvement license on top of it. Baltimore County, for example, simply checks the state credentials: a private contractor doing a residential alteration or addition must give the Maryland Home Improvement License number on the permit application, and a new dwelling permit requires the contractor's Maryland Home Builders Registration number.

Where local licensing does bite is new home construction, which MHIC does not cover.

Montgomery County. Chapter 31C of the county code requires a Montgomery County Building Contractor's New Home Builder's License before a builder contracts to construct a new home there, and the county is explicit that a state credential is not enough: 'Even if you have a license issued by the State of Maryland, you are still required to have a Montgomery County' license. Applications go to the Office of Consumer Protection and are approved by a five-member Board of Registration for New Home Builders and New Home Sellers that certifies whether the applicant is qualified to comply with county and state building codes and laws; the board meets monthly and review takes roughly 45 to 60 days. The package is an $805 non-refundable application fee, plus $250 for the State Guaranty Fund if the builder is not already registered with the State, three material supplier references, a bank reference letter, $500,000 in liability coverage with workers' compensation, a description of building experience and copies of other licenses. Building without the license carries a $500 civil fine per day, and the work is not covered by the State Home Builder Guaranty Fund. Office of Consumer Protection, 100 Maryland Avenue, Suite 3600, Rockville. The Department of Permitting Services adds that 'a contractor must have a Montgomery County New Home Builder's (BC) license to obtain a permit' for a single-family house or townhouse.

Prince George's County. A Prince George's County Building Contractor's License is required to build any new residential home from the ground up. The application is filed through the county's Momentum portal under Business and Rental Property Licensing and must be reviewed and approved by the Board of Registration for Building Contractors. It asks for a letter from a construction supplier with credit history, a letter from a construction lender or bank with credit history, a signed financial statement no more than one year old, an original certificate of comprehensive business liability insurance made out to the county, proof of enrollment in an approved new home warranty security plan, and a confirmation letter showing current registration under the Maryland Home Builder Registration Act. A homeowner building their own house applies for a homeowner waiver instead. Neither county holds an examination.

Why Kentucky has nothing to transfer

Kentucky residential contractor · “Building or residential contractor license or registration (city- or county-issued)”

Licensed by cities and counties

Verified September 17, 2026· 14 sources

Issued by No state authority; cities and counties license or register residential building contractors

Kentucky issues no statewide residential building, home builder or home improvement contractor license, so an out-of-state residential builder has nothing at state level to transfer and no state reciprocity to apply for. What Kentucky does license is the trades: the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction (HBC) says on its own home page that it "licenses/certifies plumbers, electricians, boiler contractors, sprinkler and/or fire alarm contractors and building inspectors", and its administrative regulations in Title 815 add heating, ventilation and air conditioning licensing, elevator safety, boilers and pressure vessels, manufactured homes and home inspectors. Anyone self-performing plumbing, electrical, HVAC, boiler or fire-protection work in Kentucky needs the matching HBC license whatever the local building rules say, and that is where the state-level reciprocity conversation belongs. Housing work itself is licensed jurisdiction by jurisdiction and the rules differ sharply: Louisville Metro issues a Building Type A - Residential contractor license with six hours of continuing education before each renewal, Lexington-Fayette registers a "general contractor, residential only" class under its Contractors Registration Ordinance, and the joint Bowling Green - Warren County Contractors Licensing Board issues a General Contractors License for remodeling and building. Owensboro and Covington sit at the other end: neither publishes a contractor competency license at all, and a builder there files an occupational business license and carries insurance instead. None of these credentials involves a trade or business-law exam, and none of them gives any weight to a license held in another state, so the practical work is registering in each place where permits will be pulled and carrying the insurance each one demands.

How local licensing works in Kentucky

How local licensing works. No Kentucky agency licenses residential builders or remodelers, and there is no state qualifying party, no state exam and no state reciprocity for this work. Each city and county decides for itself, so identify the building department with jurisdiction over the address before applying anywhere. A credential issued by one Kentucky jurisdiction does not carry into the next one, and none of the jurisdictions below grants anything for a license held in another state. Two statewide obligations apply wherever the project is: the HBC license for any self-performed plumbing, electrical, HVAC, boiler or fire-protection work, and compliance with the Kentucky Building Code adopted in 815 KAR Chapter 007.

Louisville Metro (Jefferson County). The Office of Construction Review issues the contractor licenses for the merged city-county. A builder chooses a term and then a scope. License A "lets you work on one or more permitted projects during a calendar year, which runs from January 1st to December 31st"; License B "allows you to work on only one permitted project during a calendar year." The scopes are Building A-Residential, Building A-Residential/Commercial, Building A-Commercial and Building B. Building Type A costs $125 a year and Building Type B $50 per permit, and "only one Building Type B license will be granted per person/company per renewal year." Six continuing education credit hours from a pre-approved list are required before renewal for Building A-R, Building A-RC and Building B, which is to say for everyone whose scope touches houses. The filing is a certificate of liability insurance naming the Office of Construction Review as certificate holder, workers' compensation and unemployment insurance or a signed and notarized affidavit that neither applies, an Occupational License Number from the Revenue Commission of Jefferson County on (502) 574-4860, and the application itself through the Metro business portal. Annual renewals must arrive with current liability insurance, the continuing education records for residential contractors, a workers' compensation form and a subcontractor list, and "any missing items will result in ALL items being returned." There is no exam, no experience requirement and no bond on the building categories; only the wrecking classes carry a written exam, a surety bond and a year of supervisory experience. Office of Construction Review, 444 S. 5th St., Suite 100, (502) 574-3321.

Lexington-Fayette Urban County. The Division of Building Inspection runs a Contractors Registration Ordinance: "this ordinance requires all contractors to register with the Building Inspection" and "unregistered contractors cannot obtain building permits." There are three classes under Ordinance 5-90(a). A general contractor, residential only "constructs up to 4-family homes (4-Plex), performs home remodeling, and may supervise, arrange, and/or perform more than two unrelated building trades or crafts." A general contractor covers everything larger. A specialty contractor "performs commercial, industrial, public works and residential construction and specializes in two or fewer unrelated building trades or crafts." Registration takes four steps: a $10 Home Office Certificate or a $25 Certificate of Occupancy if the business address is in Fayette County; an occupational business license from Revenue at 218 E. Main St., 2nd floor, (859) 258-3340; general liability insurance and workers' compensation with LFUCG as certificate holder, or the "Workers Comp Exempt" declaration on the application if neither applies; and the online Contractor Registration Application through the city's permitting portal with the occupational license and certificate of insurance uploaded. No exam, experience or bond is required for any of the three classes. The division's published fee schedule prices permits rather than registrations and lists no contractor registration fee, so ask Building Inspection for the current amount before filing. 101 E. Vine St., (859) 258-3770, [email protected].

Bowling Green and Warren County. A single joint Contractors Licensing Board licenses for both the city and the county under Ordinance 91-58 WC and Ordinance 91-25 BG. A General Contractors License is needed by anyone "doing any type of general contract work in Bowling Green / Warren County including pulling permits for building or remodeling, construction management, or if you would have two or more subcontractors per job", and costs $250. A Specialty Contractors License covers subcontract work or a job with at most one subcontractor, and costs $100. Both fees are non-refundable and renewals are annual, pro-rated for a mid-year filing. The filing is the application plus a certificate of insurance naming the board as certificate holder, with "a minimum requirement for General Liability Insurance [of] $100,000 per occurrence", workers' compensation coverage shown on the certificate or a notarized Affidavit of Exemption, and a notarized Partnership Agreement for a partnership. Licenses are non-transferable and "any change in ownership nullifies previous licenses." There is no exam and no experience review, and the board says so directly: "the Contractors Licensing Board does not warrant that you are otherwise qualified to perform your trade or specialty by the issuance of its license." A Bowling Green occupational license is also needed for work inside the city limits and a Warren County occupational license for work outside them. Contractors Licensing Board, 1141 State Street, Suite 200, 270-781-3530.

Owensboro and Daviess County. There is no Owensboro contractor license. The Owensboro Metropolitan Planning Commission's Building & Electrical Division "issues all building and electrical permits required by the Kentucky Building Code and National Electrical Code" for Owensboro-Daviess County, along with HVAC, sign and parking lot permits and certificates of occupancy, and it issues no contractor credential of any kind. What a builder needs instead is the city's business registration: "any person, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity must register with the Occupational License Division prior to conducting business inside the city limits", with "a minimum license fee of seventy-five ($75.00) dollars due with registration." New construction draws at least three field inspections - footer and foundation, framing and final - before a certificate of occupancy issues. Occupational License Division, 101 East 4th Street, 270-687-5600.

Covington and Kenton County (Northern Kentucky). Planning and Development Services of Kenton County is the building department for Covington and the surrounding communities, and its rule is short: "when completing work within Kenton County, all contractors must obtain and maintain a Kenton County occupational license and provide proof of Kentucky workers' compensation insurance coverage. In addition, the Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings, and Construction requires a license for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and fire suppression work. Contractors must provide copies of all these items before any permits can be issued." There is no residential builder license, exam or bond. In Covington itself a zoning permit from the city, and a certificate of appropriateness where a historic preservation overlay applies, must come before PDS will issue the building permit. PDS, 1840 Simon Kenton Way, Suite 3400, Covington, 859-331-8980; building permits 859-957-2408.

Storm-damaged communities. The Attorney General's Office of Consumer Protection runs joint emergency contractor registration programs with the City of Mayfield and Graves County, the City of Princeton and Caldwell County, the City of Dawson Springs and Hopkins County, and the City of Bremen and Muhlenberg County, "to register contractors looking to assist storm victims." The program "requires contractors to register prior to doing business", and registrants are issued placards that must be displayed on the job site and in the vehicle. It is a consumer-protection registration aimed at transient storm-chasers rather than a skill license, and it applies only in those communities. Details on (502) 871-2424.

Everywhere else. The remaining Kentucky cities and counties each set their own rules, from a full licensing board like Bowling Green's to nothing beyond an occupational license and proof of insurance. Ask the local building department what it requires before bidding, and expect to repeat the filing in each jurisdiction.
