The Utah rule

Regulator: Utah Department of Commerce - Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL)

$7,000
Utah job-size figure

Utah Code 58-55-305(1)(h)(i): exempt if 'contracted or agreed value of less than $7,000, including both labor and materials, and including all changes or additions' (strictly under $7,000). Second tier: under 305(1)(h)(ii)(H), 'if the total value of the project is greater than $3,000' the person must file a one-time (periodically reaffirmed) affirmation with DOPL of liability insurance and, if applicable, workers comp. So: $3,000 or less = no filing; over $3,000 and under $7,000 = Affirmation of Exemption (handyman) required; $7,000 or more = license.

What counts toward it: labor+materials

"a person engaged in the alteration, repair, remodeling, or addition to or improvement of a building with a contracted or agreed value of less than $7,000, including both labor and materials, and including all changes or additions to the contracted or agreed upon work"
