In addition to general contractors, the term includes subcontractors and specialty contractors whose operations, as such are the performance of construction work requiring special skill, or whose principal contracting business involves the use of specialized building trades or crafts, such as, but not limited to, plumbers, excavators, carpenters, masons, concrete finishers, tinners, sewer installers, heating equipment installers, sign erectors, roofers, dry wall applicators, lathers, plasterers, and/or building movers. "Contractor" does not include painters, laborers hired on an hourly basis, floor finishers, and tile applicators.
(Ord. 7-21. Passed 2-9-21.)
No person shall engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor except pursuant to a certificate of registration and qualification issued by the Municipality, unless such person is particularly exempted by other provisions of this chapter.
(Ord. 7-21. Passed 2-9-21.)
No provision of this chapter or regulation adopted by authority of this chapter shall be interpreted to require that the owner of a single or two-family dwelling be licensed or registered or hold a certificate of registration and qualification to personally perform work upon his or her premises. However, this exception shall not apply to any person holding himself or herself out to the public as a building contractor, builder or one engaged in any of the building trades for profit. All such work shall be performed by the owner with the assistance of only nonpaid gratuitous help, and the work shall be done in conformity with this chapter and the rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter, and no work shall be done unless all permits, inspections and approvals required by this chapter and all other applicable municipal ordinances are obtained.
(Ord. 7-21. Passed 2-9-21.)
The fee to be charged for the issuance of each certificate of registration and qualification for a general contractor and for every other specific contractor shall be as set forth in Chapter 1113 of this Code. Each such certificate shall expire on December 31 of each year. A registered general contractor may, under this registration, perform work in connection with any or all trades. Any other registered contractor shall perform only such work as is customarily done by the trade for which he or she has registered. The contractor registration fee set forth in the fee schedule shall be doubled for any contractor working in the City without a certificate of registration.
(Ord. 7-21. Passed 2-9-21.)
Any revocation, suspension or refusal to issue or renew a license or a certificate of registration and qualification, or any other action or determination by any administrative officer under this chapter, may be appealed to the Board of Zoning and Building Appeals.
