# Michigan

> Contractor licensing thresholds, regulator routing, requirements, reciprocity, and license types for Michigan's trade-license model under the Bureau of Construction Codes.

Michigan does not license general contractors at the state level. Instead, the Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC) within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) licenses individual trades — electrical, mechanical, plumbing, boiler, elevator, and manufactured housing. Highway work requires separate MDOT prequalification.

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

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Contractors" icon="hard-hat">
    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="What state licenses are required for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, or boiler contractors in Michigan?">
        Michigan licenses each trade separately through the Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC) within LARA. Electrical contractors must employ or hold a master electrician license. Mechanical contractors need 6,000 hours over 3 years. Plumbing contractors must employ or hold a master plumber license. Boiler installers, repairers, and inspectors need 5 years of experience plus an exam. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Does Michigan require a license for residential remodeling or commercial construction?">
        Michigan does not license general commercial contractors at the state level. However, residential builders and maintenance/alteration contractors must be licensed through BCC. On all projects, trade-specific work (electrical, mechanical, plumbing) must be performed by state-licensed individuals. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the prequalification requirements for bidding on Michigan highway contracts?">
        File a confidential experience questionnaire and financial statement with MDOT. Ratings under **\$10,000,000** are valid for 16 months; ratings of **\$10,000,000** or above are valid for 28 months. CPA-audited financials are required for contracts over **\$2,000,000**. No fees for highway prequalification. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Where do I go to get licensed in Michigan?">
        All trade licenses go through the Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC) within LARA, but each trade has its own section with separate contact information. MDOT handles highway prequalification. The Department of Civil Rights issues Certificates of Awardability for public works over **\$100,000**. See [Who regulates construction](#who-regulates-construction).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How much does it cost to get a trade license in Michigan?">
        PSI administers most exams under contract with BCC. Specific fee amounts are not detailed in the source material, but exam fees and licensing fees vary by trade. Veterans with honorable discharge may have the initial licensing fee waived. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Can I use my out-of-state license in Michigan?">
        Michigan has no reciprocal agreements with any other state. Out-of-state licenses may be reviewed case-by-case to determine exam eligibility. Veterans who meet requirements via out-of-state licensure may qualify for an exam waiver. See [Reciprocal agreements](#reciprocal-agreements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What is a Certificate of Awardability?">
        Public works contracts over **\$100,000** require a Certificate of Awardability from the Department of Civil Rights. This is an equal opportunity compliance certificate, not a construction qualification. It is separate from both trade licensing and highway prequalification. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What experience is required for an electrical contractor license?">
        The electrical contractor must employ or hold a Michigan master electrician license. Master electricians need 12,000 hours over 6+ years under a master electrician, plus 2 years holding a journeyman license. Journeymen need 8,000 hours over 4+ years. Apprentices must register within 30 days of employment. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Does Michigan require licensing for residential construction?">
        Yes. Residential builders and maintenance/alteration contractors must be licensed through BCC's Licensing Section. The qualifying individual must pass an exam. Separate trade licenses are still required for electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work on residential projects. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Does Michigan require a license for fire alarm work?">
        Yes. Fire alarm contractors must employ or hold a Michigan fire alarm specialty technician license. Fire alarm technicians must hold CFAT II or NICET II (or higher) certification and pass an exam. Apprentice technicians must register within 30 days. See [Requirements](#requirements).

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="How does Michigan's licensing model compare to single-board states?">
        Michigan uses a trade-license model with no general contractor board. All trade licenses flow through a single bureau (BCC) within LARA, creating administrative efficiency despite the lack of a general contractor category. This contrasts with states like Alabama that split regulation across many independent boards. See [Who regulates construction](#who-regulates-construction).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How does Michigan regulate residential vs. commercial construction?">
        Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance/alteration contractors through BCC, but does not license general commercial contractors. Both residential and commercial projects require state-licensed trade workers (electrical, mechanical, plumbing). The practical difference is that commercial general contracting has no state credential requirement. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What financial statements are required for MDOT prequalification?">
        CPA-audited financials are required when the contract exceeds **\$2,000,000**. Ratings under **\$10,000,000** are valid for 16 months; ratings of **\$10,000,000** or above are valid for 28 months. No fees apply for highway prequalification. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What specialty trade licenses does Michigan issue?">
        BCC issues licenses for: electrical (master, journeyman, apprentice, contractor), fire alarm (contractor, technician, apprentice), signs (contractor, specialist), mechanical/HVAC (10 classifications), plumbing (master, journey, apprentice, contractor), boiler (installer, repairer, inspector), elevator (contractor, journeyman), manufactured housing (retailer, community, installer/servicer), and residential building. See [Types of licenses](#types-of-licenses).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the fees and insurance requirements across trades?">
        All OCILB applicants must carry **\$500,000** in contractor liability coverage. Manufactured housing retailers need a **\$10,000** bond per office location. MDOT highway prequalification has no fees. Exam fees vary by trade and are administered by PSI. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What license classifications does Michigan use for mechanical work?">
        Michigan offers 10 mechanical classifications: Limited Heating Service, Unlimited Heating Service, Limited Refrigeration and A/C Service, Unlimited Refrigeration and A/C Service, Hydronic Heating and Cooling, Process Piping, HVAC Equipment, Duct Work, Refrigeration, and Fire Suppression Specialty. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Does Michigan have any reciprocity agreements?">
        No. Michigan does not have reciprocal agreements with any other state for any trade. Out-of-state licenses may be reviewed case-by-case for exam eligibility. Veterans with honorable discharge may qualify for fee waivers and exam waivers. See [Reciprocal agreements](#reciprocal-agreements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What exam requirements exist across Michigan's trades?">
        Exams are required for master and journeyman electricians, all mechanical classifications, journey and master plumbers, plumbing contractors, boiler licenses, elevator contractors and journeymen, and residential builders. PSI administers most exams under contract with BCC. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What are the renewal cycles for Michigan licenses?">
        The source material does not specify uniform renewal cycles. MDOT prequalification ratings are valid for 16 months (under **\$10,000,000**) or 28 months (**\$10,000,000** or above). Contact BCC for specific trade renewal schedules. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How does Michigan compare to other Midwest states in regulatory complexity?">
        Michigan has moderate complexity — it regulates more trades than minimal states like Kansas or Missouri, but channels everything through a single bureau (BCC). This is less fragmented than Ohio's five-agency model and more structured than Illinois's three-lane approach. See the [Midwest region guide](/docs/jurisdictions/regions/midwest).

## Special considerations

Different roles need different things from a Michigan page. Use the tab that matches your situation to see what matters most before you read the full detail below.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Contractors" icon="hard-hat">
    <Tip>
      Michigan does not require a state general contractor license. Focus on which trade credentials your project needs.
    </Tip>

    * There is no statewide general contractor license — regulation is trade-by-trade.
    * Electrical, mechanical, plumbing, boiler, elevator, and manufactured housing each require separate state licenses.
    * Public works contracts over **\$100,000** require a Certificate of Awardability from the Department of Civil Rights.
    * Highway bidders must prequalify with MDOT; contracts over **\$2,000,000** require CPA-audited financials.
    * Veterans with honorable discharge may have the initial licensing fee waived and, if licensed in another state, may have the exam requirement waived.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Regulators" icon="shield-check">
    <Info>
      Michigan is best understood as a trade-license state with no general contractor board. All trade licenses flow through a single bureau (BCC) within LARA.
    </Info>

    * One bureau (BCC) administers all trade licenses — electrical, mechanical, plumbing, boiler, elevator, and manufactured housing.
    * MDOT handles highway prequalification separately.
    * Michigan has no reciprocal agreements — out-of-state credentials are reviewed case-by-case for exam eligibility.

## Readiness checklist

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Identify the trade lane" icon="tag">
    Michigan does not license general contractors at the state level. Determine which specific trade credential — electrical, mechanical, plumbing, boiler, elevator, manufactured housing, or residential builder — your project requires.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the public works gate" icon="receipt">
    If bidding on public works, confirm whether the contract exceeds `$100,000` (Certificate of Awardability required). For highway work, confirm MDOT prequalification. Contracts over `$2,000,000` need CPA-audited financials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Route to the correct BCC section" icon="building">
    All trade licenses go through the Bureau of Construction Codes, but each trade has its own section with separate phone, email, and exam requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the requirement set" icon="clipboard-check">
    Confirm experience hours, exams, fees, bond or insurance, and renewal cycle for the exact trade before filing. PSI administers most exams under contract with BCC.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  If you can identify the trade lane, check the public works gate, route to the correct BCC section, and confirm the requirement set, you have the minimum package needed for a Michigan readiness check.

## Construction work regulated

Michigan does not have a single dollar threshold that triggers a general contractor license. Instead, regulation is organized by trade, with specific experience and exam requirements for each. Public works and highway work have separate gates.

| Work lane                         | What triggers regulation                                                         |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Electrical work                   | All electrical work requires a licensed electrician (state level)                |
| Mechanical / HVAC work            | All mechanical work requires a licensed mechanical contractor (state level)      |
| Plumbing work                     | All plumbing work requires a licensed plumber (state level)                      |
| Boiler installation and repair    | Requires state boiler installer, repairer, or inspector license                  |
| Elevator construction and service | Requires state elevator contractor or journeyman license                         |
| Manufactured housing              | Retailers, installers, and community operators must be licensed                  |
| Residential building              | Residential builders and maintenance/alteration contractors must be licensed     |
| Public works                      | Contracts over **\$100,000** require Certificate of Awardability                 |
| State highway work                | Requires MDOT prequalification; **\$2,000,000**+ requires CPA-audited financials |

<Note>
  Fire alarm contractors, sign contractors, and sign specialists also require state licensing through BCC. These fall under the electrical licensing family.

## Reciprocal agreements

Michigan does not have reciprocal agreements with any other state. Out-of-state licenses may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether an applicant is eligible to sit for a Michigan exam.

<Info>
  No automatic credential transfer exists. If you hold an out-of-state license, contact the BCC Licensing Section to ask whether your credentials qualify you for exam eligibility.
</Info>

  Veterans with honorable discharge (DD-214 or DD-215) may have their initial licensing fee waived. Veterans who meet requirements via out-of-state licensure may also qualify for an exam waiver.

## Types of licenses
