Home Improvement Contractor Application

All applicants must obtain general liability insurance of no less than $20,000 to be eligible for a home improvement contractor registration. Applicants will be required to provide the name of their insurance provider and policy number in their application.
All applications must be submitted online.
You must determine whether you want to register as an individual (sole proprietorship) or a legal entity (LLC, corporation) prior to applying.
If you contract with consumers as an LLC, then you should register as an LLC. Holding a home improvement contractor registration as an individual does not cover the LLC.
Legal entities (both in-state and out-of-state) must register their business with the CT Secretary of State’s Office prior to applying.
If you will be building new homes, you should apply for a New Home Construction Contractor registration first. You can designate home improvement work as part of that registration process. (see New Home Construction Contractor)
Non-refundable application fee: $220.00
