The Oklahoma rule
Regulator: Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) - trade licensing/registration; Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission (OUBCC) - statewide codes
Not applicable. CIB: 'General Contractors are not currently required to have a state license in Oklahoma for general contracting. However, trade licenses/registrations are required for performing, or offering to perform, licensed/registered trade work.' No dollar-value handyman exemption from trade licensing found.
What counts toward it: other: not applicable - no state general/handyman license, so no dollar threshold; trade work requires a CIB license/registration regardless of job size
"General Contractors are not currently required to have a state license in Oklahoma for general contracting. However, trade licenses/registrations are required for performing, or offering to perform, licensed/registered trade work. Further, local jurisdictions should be contacted for any local requirements."
