Indiana Contractor License & Permit Hub

Indiana does not issue one broad statewide general contractor license for residential construction. Instead, homeowners usually need to verify local contractor credentials while using the Professional Licensing Agency for any state-regulated trades that are part of the project. The exact city or county where your home sits makes a real difference.

License Summary

Indiana licensing at a glance

Indiana's contractor oversight is largely local for general construction, with cities and counties often setting registration or licensing rules for builders and remodelers. The state Professional Licensing Agency is still important because specialty professions may be state regulated or connected to separate boards. As a homeowner, you should expect a two-step verification process: local approval for the general contractor, plus separate checking for any licensed trade work. Permit authority is often a useful guide to which local office to contact.
