Iowa Contractor Registration Guide

State registration

Check the rules for this work

Iowa construction contractors generally register with DIAL when earning at least $2,000 per year from construction. The state provides an online registration application, renewal and contractor search.

Businesses providing plumbing, mechanical, HVAC, refrigeration, sheet metal or hydronic services need a separate Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board contractor license through a joint application. Check city or county requirements for each project.
