Ala. Admin. Code r. 230-X-1-.42

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 230-X-1-.42 - Inactive License

(1) A Prime General Contractor must notify the Board in writing prior to the expiration of its license that it is transitioning to an Inactive License.

(2) A Prime General Contractor may renew its Inactive License annually by its expiration date for renewal for a fee of two hundred dollars ($200). Failure to renew by the assigned date will require the applicant to renew the license as active. There is no requirement to file current financial information, a copy of liability insurance or any information from the Secretary of State upon timely renewal of, or transition to, an Inactive License.

(3) Within ten (10) years from the transition to an Inactive License, a Prime General Contractor may reactivate its license to active status administratively by timely filing with the Board all of the documentation required for the renewal of active licenses and any applicable fees. Reinstatement of an active license after more than ten (10) years from the transition to an Inactive License may require Board review of the application for reactivation.

(4) The Inactive License allows the licensee to keep its current number; however, a letter or letters before the number shall denote inactive status.

(5) The holder of an Inactive License shall not engage in any improvement to the real property of another where the cost of the undertaking is fifty thousand dollars $50,000 or more.

(6) A Prime General Contractor with an Inactive License may bid on private projects; however, current financial information would have to be filed before the bid to establish a bid limit. An active license must be obtained prior to beginning work on the project. An inactive license cannot be used to bid on projects which are subject to Title 39 of the Alabama Code.

(7) The Board will provide a transitional period for former licensees that maintained a prime general contractors license until sometime between August 1, 2009 and March 31, 2012 to obtain an Inactive License.
