License-tied insurance
not machine-verifiable — check the official source
No statewide, license-tied insurance or bond requirement for general contractors was found in the official sources this site fetches. That is not a promise that none exists: licensing and insurance rules for this occupation often sit at city or county level, and client contracts routinely set their own insurance conditions. Check with the state's licensing authority and your local government before relying on this.
Workers' compensation
verified 2026-09-05
Required for any business with three or more workers, including regular part-time workers.
