The
State Licensing Board for General Contractors was created
through legislation enacted in1935. The Board licenses and
regulates commercial and industrial contractors in the major
and specialty classifications that constitute the industry.
Currently, there are more than 9,000 general contractors
licensed to work in the state.
A
five-member Board, appointed by the Governor, directs administrative
policy for the agency’s
operation. The Board includes representatives of each major
classification of license. Regular quarterly meetings are
held in January, April, July, and October.
The
Board’s
office is located in Montgomery, Alabama. The agency maintains
a staff of license specialists who are trained to answer inquires
concerning the licensing process and the status of licensed
general contractors. They also process new applications for
license as well as for license renewals. The compliance and
regulatory section of the agency consists of three Special
Investigators who focus on unlicensed contractors as well as
investigating consumer complaints concerning contractors. There
is also support staff at the agency as well as the Executive
Secretary who directs the day-to-day operation.
