A. A licensed contractor may elect to designate his or her license as "inactive" by submitting a written statement to the building official. The following conditions shall apply to every contractor who is designated as "inactive":
1. Inactive licensees shall pay the appropriate annual renewal fees required for licensed contractors.
2. Inactive licensees shall not be required to comply with the insurance requirements that otherwise apply to licensed contractors under this chapter.
3. Inactive licensees shall not perform work that must be performed by a licensed contractor under this Code, and may not receive any permits to perform work under this Code, except as may be permitted under the listed property owner exemptions of subsection 9-3-1B of this chapter.
4. Inactive licensees shall not be eligible to serve any additional term on the Contractor Licensing Board - however, they may complete their term if currently serving on the Board.
5. If an inactive licensee wishes to change status of his license to active so that he may perform work and receive permits to do work, he or she shall provide evidence of the required liability insurance to the building official, and deliver a written statement to the building official stating that he or she wishes to change his license to active. Upon receiving such information, the building official shall designate the licensee as active. (Ord. 2019-03, 7-9-2019)
