Contractors and Repair Shops in Arizona

Contractors must hold a license from the Registrar of Contractors. Work on one project with a total price under $1,000 (by someone other than a licensed contractor) is generally exempt, unless a building permit is required or the job is split up to evade the law. A contract over $1,000 between a contractor and a property owner must be in writing and include the contractor's license number, a description of the work, the total price, any advance deposit, the progress payment schedule, the estimated completion date, and a bold notice of the owner's right to complain to the Registrar of Contractors. The contractor must give the owner copies of signed documents and receipts for cash.
