Arizona draws a hard line at $1,000: at that amount, or whenever a permit is needed, the work takes a Registrar of Contractors license. The ROC also spells out how your license number must appear in advertising. We put the ROC number on every page, then bring calls, Google reviews and booked jobs.
Arizona licenses contractors through the Registrar of Contractors, with residential, commercial and dual classifications for trades like electrical, plumbing and air conditioning. Licensed contractors show the license number, written with the prefix ROC, on advertising, bids and estimates, and internet ads can instead link to a page that prominently shows your name and number. Anyone leaning on the under-$1,000 exemption has to say "not a licensed contractor" in every advertisement, while gardeners doing lawn, shrub and tree maintenance are exempt outright. Contracts over $1,000 must carry your license number, and Phoenix lists the state license number among its permit requirements.
A licensed contractor's license number, written with the prefix ROC, goes on published advertising, bids, estimates and letterheads. Internet advertising can instead include a web address that links to a site prominently showing the licensee's name and license number. An exempt, unlicensed person must say 'not a licensed contractor' in any advertisement.
"On all published advertising, letterheads and other documents used by the licensee to correspond with the licensee's customers or potential customers"
Whatever you hold in Arizona, a state license, a registration or a city license, we put the number in the footer of every page and on your quote page, matching your Google Business Profile. Customers look you up before they call, and a number they can verify wins the job.
Main agency: Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC). Arizona exempts a person who functions as a gardener doing lawn, garden, shrub and tree maintenance, and exempts very small jobs under $1,000 that need no permit.
An unlicensed person may do work totaling under $1,000 (labor, materials and all other items) if it is casual or minor, no local building permit is needed, the job is not part of a larger project or split to evade the law, and any advertising says 'not a licensed contractor'. Source
