Tennessee Contractor & Trade License Requirements

Tennessee requires statewide contractor licensing for any construction project valued at $25,000 or more, administered by the Board for Licensing Contractors (BLC). Electricians and plumbers have a two-tier system: a Limited License for projects under $25,000 and a full Contractor license for larger projects. HVAC and roofing fall under the general contractor classifications. Tennessee has extensive reciprocity agreements with neighboring states.
