Oklahoma licensing

Licensing in Oklahoma — Sources checked

Who and what this applies to

General contracting and CIB-regulated trades.

Thresholds and scope

Oklahoma’s Construction Industries Board expressly says general contractors do not currently need a state general-contractor license.

The rules

  • CIB regulates electrical, plumbing and mechanical licensing, inspections, home inspection, and roofing registration under the respective Acts; the absence of a general-contractor license does not authorize regulated trade work. Source
  • CIB’s current agency page explicitly states that general contractors are not required to hold a state license for general contracting. Source
