The Residential Builder license does not allow you to do plumbing, electrical, or mechanical work. These licenses require LONG apprenticeship and/or approved classroom study programs to qualify.
|
|
You must be 18 years old to qualify. You do not have to be a Michigan resident to qualify. As of June 1, 2008 you must additionally complete 60 hours of approved classroom hours prior to being allowed to take the tests. You must pass BOTH halves of the Michigan Residential Builders License exam before you can qualify to apply for your license. When you complete the Michigan Builders License Course as a supplement to the required 60 hours classroom requirement, we guarantee that you will pass the mandatory tests.

It costs $105.00 for your first Michigan Residential Builders License. This total amount includes: $50.00 for a once-in-a-lifetime Construction Lien Recovery Fund fee, $15.00 for a once-in-a-lifetime license application fee, and $40.00 for the actual license itself. After that, it costs you only $40.00 a year in renewal fees. There are also fees for the mandatory Residential Builders License Exam which are covered in the "EXAM" webpage that follows.

You CANNOT APPLY FOR YOUR LICENSE until you pass the required examinations.
AFTER YOU PASS both halves of the required examination, you will be given your test score report and license application. Simply read the license application instructions, include required documentation, and mail with your license fees. Your license will be mailed to you.
