Commercial painter licensing overview
In some states a commercial painter is required to obtain a general contractor’s license with a specialty classification in painting. This type of license may require an examination by the qualifying party, a surety bond, proof of insurance, financial statements, letters of reference, and proof of experience. Some states do not require a license but may require registration on the state and/or local level.
Often these licenses and registrations require renewals every few years and it is important to stay compliant.
Business license considerations
State and local authorities issue specific business licenses and permits depending on your industry. In some cases, regulations require special education and unique credentials.
Businesses functioning without the proper license are generally penalized based on the size of the operation and the gravity of the offense.
