License Summary
Minnesota licensing at a glance
Minnesota's residential system is more structured than many neighboring states. For homeowners, the key issue is whether the company performing or contracting for residential work holds the proper DLI credential for that role. Some businesses may be licensed as residential building contractors or remodelers, while others appear in related registration categories. Because the distinctions can be technical, homeowners should focus on whether the official record supports the exact scope of residential work being sold to them.
