# Delaware

> Contractor licensing thresholds, regulator routing, requirements, reciprocity, and license types for Delaware's revenue-based general licensing model with separate competency boards for electrical and asbestos work.

Delaware uses a revenue-based licensing model for general contractors — the license is a business registration, not a competency credential. Competency-based licensing applies only to electrical work and asbestos abatement, each administered by a separate board. Six distinct agencies handle different work lanes.

<Warning>
  Always verify statutes, fees, and application details with the live regulator before making bidding, licensing, or legal decisions.
</Warning>

## At a glance

The fastest way to orient yourself in Delaware is to know that most contractor licensing is revenue-only — the real compliance gates are trade-specific.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Contractors" icon="hard-hat">
    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="What type of contractor license does Delaware require?">
        Delaware's general contractor license is a revenue-based business registration through the Division of Revenue, not a competency credential. The annual fee is **\$75**. There is no exam, experience, or qualification test for the general license. Competency-based licensing only applies to electrical work and asbestos abatement. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Do I need a separate license for electrical work?">
        Yes. Any electrical contractor must employ or be a licensed master electrician through the State Board of Electrical Examiners. This is a competency-based license requiring a 75% exam score, 3 to 6 years of experience, and **\$300,000** liability insurance for master/master special. See [Electricians](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Where do I go to get licensed in Delaware?">
        Delaware has 6 separate agencies. General contractor licenses go through the Division of Revenue. Electrical licensing goes to the Board of Electrical Examiners. Asbestos to the Division of Facilities Management. UST work to DNREC Tanks. Waste transport to DNREC Waste Division. Highway work to DelDOT. See [Who regulates construction](#who-regulates-construction).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How much does it cost to get licensed?">
        The general contractor license is **\$75** per year. Electrical licensing fees range from **\$59** (apprentice) to **\$157** (master) plus exam fees set by the testing provider. Asbestos training runs **\$325** to **\$695** with **\$20** to **\$100** application fees. UST certification is **\$250** for companies and **\$100** for supervisors. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the bonding and insurance requirements?">
        Non-resident contractors must post a surety or cash bond equal to 6% of contracts exceeding **\$20,000**. Master electricians need **\$300,000** liability insurance. UST contractors need **\$1,000,000** general liability plus **\$250,000** pollution liability. Solid waste transporters need proof of liability insurance. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Can I use my out-of-state license in Delaware?">
        Reciprocity is very limited. Only asbestos credentials from EPA Region III states (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington DC) qualify, and only for Class A supervisors and workers — not contractors. No other trades have any reciprocity path. See [Reciprocal agreements](#reciprocal-agreements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Do I need my license before bidding on a contract?">
        Yes, for competitively bid contracts exceeding **\$50,000**, your general contractor license must be on file before you submit the bid. See [General Contractors](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the requirements for non-resident contractors?">
        Non-resident contractors must file a surety or cash bond with the Division of Revenue equal to 6% of total contracts exceeding **\$20,000**. Bank letters of credit are accepted. You must report contracts with non-resident subcontractors within 10 days — failure carries a **\$10,000** civil penalty per occurrence. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Does Delaware require licensing for roofing or residential work?">
        General roofing and residential work only require the **\$75** revenue-based business registration — no competency credential is needed unless the work involves electrical or asbestos abatement. The revenue license applies to any construction, alteration, or repair of a structure. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the continuing education requirements?">
        Only electricians have CE requirements: 10 hours per two-year renewal cycle (5 must be code-related). If licensed 1 to 2 years, only 5 hours are required. If licensed less than 1 year, none. General contractors and other trades have no CE requirement. See [Electricians](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What about underground storage tank work?">
        UST installations, retrofits, removals, and closure-in-place require certification from DNREC. Companies and supervisors must pass an exam with a score of 80%. The certification fee is **\$250** for companies and **\$100** for supervisors, with **\$1,000,000** general liability and **\$250,000** pollution liability insurance required. See [Underground Storage Tank Contractors](#requirements).

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="How does Delaware's licensing model compare to qualification-based states?">
        Delaware's general contractor license is atypical — it is a revenue-based business registration, not a competency credential. Most states require exams, experience, and financial qualifications. Delaware reserves competency testing for only two specific trades: electrical and asbestos abatement. This makes Delaware one of the least restrictive states for general contracting. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How does Delaware's $50,000 competitive bid threshold compare to other states?">
        The **\$50,000** threshold applies only to competitive bid filing — it requires a license on file before bidding, not a separate license tier. The **\$20,000** non-resident bond trigger is a separate compliance gate. Most states trigger licensing at much lower contract values. For cross-state comparison, see [Licensing thresholds](/docs/compare/licensing-thresholds).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What types of construction work are regulated at the state vs. local level?">
        Delaware regulates at the state level through 6 agencies: general contractor revenue licensing (Division of Revenue), electrical competency licensing (Board of Electrical Examiners), asbestos certification (Division of Facilities Management), UST certification (DNREC Tanks), waste transport permits (DNREC Waste), and highway registration (DelDOT). Local jurisdictions may impose additional permit requirements.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What agency handles electrical licensing vs. general contractor licensing?">
        Completely separate agencies. The Division of Revenue handles the general contractor business license (revenue-only, no exam). The State Board of Electrical Examiners handles electrical licensing (competency-based, exam required, experience required, insurance required). They have different application processes, fees, and renewal cycles.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the fees across different trades?">
        General contractors pay **\$75** per year (revenue license). Electrical licensing ranges from **\$59** to **\$157** processing fee plus exam fees. Asbestos contractor licenses are **\$100** per year. UST certification is **\$250** for companies. Solid waste transport is **\$350** per year. See [Requirements](#requirements) for complete fee tables.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What license classifications does Delaware use?">
        Delaware has a simple classification structure. General contractors have only two categories: General Contractor and Subcontractor. Electricians have six levels: Master, Master Special, Limited, Limited Special, Journeyperson, and Apprentice. Asbestos has Class A (Contractor, Supervisor, Worker) and Class B (Contractor, Supervisor/Worker) plus project monitors. See [Types of licenses](#types-of-licenses).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How does reciprocity work in Delaware?">
        Delaware's reciprocity is narrow. Only asbestos credentials qualify, and only Class A supervisors and workers from EPA Region III states (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington DC). Contractors are excluded. No other trade has any reciprocity path. See [Reciprocal agreements](#reciprocal-agreements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What exam requirements exist?">
        Only two trades require exams: electricians need a 75% passing score (exam given six times per year), and UST contractors and supervisors need an 80% passing score. Asbestos workers need 70% on a written exam (35 to 100 questions depending on class). General contractors have no exam. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the renewal cycles?">
        General contractor licenses expire December 31 annually. Electrical licenses are biennial, expiring June 30 of even-numbered years. Asbestos licenses are annual from the date of training. UST certifications are biennial. Solid waste transport permits are annual. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How does the non-resident contractor bond work?">
        Non-resident contractors must post a surety or cash bond equal to 6% of all contracts exceeding **\$20,000**. Failure to report a contract with a non-resident contractor within 10 days triggers a **\$10,000** civil penalty per occurrence. This is a revenue compliance mechanism, not a competency gate.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How does Delaware compare to neighboring Mid-Atlantic states?">
        Delaware is significantly less restrictive than most neighboring states. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia all have competency-based licensing for multiple trades. Delaware only requires competency credentials for electricians and asbestos workers. The revenue-based general contractor model is unusual in the region. See the [South region guide](/docs/jurisdictions/regions/south).

  <Tab title="Contractors" icon="hard-hat">
    <Tip>
      Most Delaware contractor licenses are revenue-only — the real compliance question is whether your trade requires a separate competency credential.
    </Tip>

    * General contractor licensing is a business registration through the Division of Revenue, not a competency test. The annual fee is **\$75**.
    * You must have your license on file before submitting a competitive bid on contracts exceeding **\$50,000**.
    * Non-resident contractors must post a surety or cash bond equal to 6% of contracts exceeding **\$20,000**.
    * Electrical work requires a separate competency license from the Board of Electrical Examiners (exam, experience, insurance).
    * Asbestos abatement requires certification from the Division of Facilities Management (training, exam, medical clearance).
    * UST work requires separate certification with an 80% exam score.

  <Tab title="Regulators" icon="shield-check">
    <Info>
      Delaware is best understood as a revenue-licensing state with targeted competency carve-outs for electrical and asbestos work.
    </Info>

    * Six separate agencies administer different work lanes — no single contractor board exists.
    * The Division of Revenue handles the general contractor business license (revenue-only).
    * Competency-based licensing applies only to electricians (Board of Electrical Examiners) and asbestos workers (Division of Facilities Management).
    * Reciprocity is limited to asbestos (EPA Region III states only).

## Readiness checklist

Four things you need to confirm before you can treat Delaware as "ready" for a bid or an application. If any of these are unclear, you are not ready yet.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Classify the project lane" icon="tag">
    Identify whether the work is general construction, electrical, asbestos, environmental, or highway-related.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply the right threshold test" icon="receipt">
    Check `$50,000` (competitive bid filing) and `$20,000` (non-resident bond trigger) against your project scope.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Route to the correct agency" icon="building">
    Use the regulator directory below. Delaware has 6 separate agencies — do not assume a single contractor board.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the requirement set" icon="clipboard-check">
    Confirm whether your lane requires only a revenue license or a full competency credential with exams, experience, insurance, and CE.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  If you can identify lane, threshold, agency, and requirement set, you have the minimum package needed for a Delaware readiness check.

## Construction work regulated

Any construction, alteration, or repair of a structure in Delaware requires a state contractor license. However, for most trades the license is revenue-only — it does not test competency. Electrical and asbestos abatement are the exceptions.

## Reciprocal agreements

Delaware's reciprocity is narrow: it applies only to asbestos, and only for Class A supervisors and workers — not contractors. The arrangement covers EPA Region III states.

<Info>
  If you hold an asbestos credential from a Region III state, you may request certification by reciprocity. All other trades have no reciprocity path.
