Alabama Contractor License & Permit Hub
Alabama splits contractor oversight by project type. For most home construction and major residential work, homeowners should look to the Home Builders Licensure Board, while larger commercial work falls under a separate General Contractors board. That split matters because a company may be legitimate for one kind of job but not properly credentialed for another.
