In Indiana, contractors follow local licensing rules set by cities and counties; meanwhile, the Indiana Plumbing Commission (PLA) licenses plumbers statewide. As a result, you’ll apply locally for general or specialty contracting and apply through PLA for plumbing—both with specific experience, exams, and insurance requirements.
Contractor Licensing Inc. streamlines every step. We help you meet local rules, obtain state plumbing licenses, and secure any required bonds so you can get approved quickly and stay compliant.

In addition, roofing applicants must carry liability insurance and post a $10,000 surety bond. Because cities often set their own bond and insurance rules, contractors should verify requirements before taking on projects.
Contractor Licensing Inc. helps you navigate both state and local licensing so you can stay compliant and get approved faster.

Indiana does not issue a statewide General Contractor license. Instead, cities and counties set their own contractor licensing rules (for example, Indianapolis, Evansville, and Allen County).
