Contractor’s licenses are not issued to a “person”.  Licenses are issued to legal entities such as corporations, LLCs, LLPs, etc.  Responsible and legal contractors will:

  • Have a contractor’s license credentials that are associated with the business that is stated on your contract documents and can be verified on this website.
  • Carry workman’s compensation insurance for you and their employee’s protection in the event of an accident on your property.
  • Carry general liability insurance.
  • Have a CRS# and will collect gross receipts tax from customers and turn in to the NM Department of Revenue (where the state will then waste it)
  • Will hire only licensed/insured contractors when the work is being performed by others.
  • Will pay their direct employees wages, withhold taxes, pay FICA, FUTA, MED and SUTA and report  through the proper reporting channels.
