License Summary
Missouri licensing at a glance
Missouri is largely local for general contractors. Major cities and counties may impose contractor licensing, registration, or competency requirements, while the state Division of Professional Registration is more relevant for certain professions and trade categories. For homeowners, that means a contractor's legitimacy can depend heavily on where the project is located. A company working lawfully in one municipality may still need separate approval in another.
