How long may a contractor request to inactivate their license?

  1. 3 years

  2. 4 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 6 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

A contractor may request to inactivate their license for a period of 5 years. This provision allows contractors the flexibility to temporarily cease operations without the need to fully abandon their license and go through the re-application process. It’s essential for contractors who may be facing temporary circumstances that prevent them from performing work, such as economic downturns, personal issues, or changes in business focus. During this inactive period, they are not permitted to engage in any contracted work, but they can reactivate their license within the stipulated timeframe, thereby saving time and resources. This policy helps maintain a regulated and organized licensing system while offering contractors the opportunity to pause their operational activities.
