What type of contractors licences?

[quadpa1911]

So What type of contractors licences when using your tractor for tilling, mowing, drive way grading (Back Box), post hole drilling, and misc. backhoe work. I haven't been able to pin point anything for the State of Jefferson (California)

I would think that is a good thing.


I am licensed for everything but Public Works and asphalt, so I never have to look over my shoulder.

California is soon to require a license to breath.

When i was a contractor in calif, all you needed to do the type of work your tsalking about (as long as it wasnt state paid work) was a simple business license.

im not sure if it has changed much.

Two actually. One for inhale and one for exhale. The exhale will need an EPA endorsement showing tax paid for CO2 generation and potentially a HazMat sticker if you have bad breath!

Thanks for the replies (I think), I'm glade you feel my pain. You know there's a saying that there's no law North of the Klamath. Maybe I should go with that.

In CT you would need a Home improvement registration number.
They are very careful to say it is not a license because that sounds like you have passed some type of test.

The big issue for you breaking ground wth a BH or PHD, is underground insurance. In Joe *****'s own words "That's a big f-ing deal"

Drill into a fiber optic line, you better have the right coverage
