Alabama Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
Alabama has two state boards for this work. The Licensing Board for General Contractors publishes a license search. The Home Builders Licensure Board is a separate site. When we checked on November 13, 2026, the home builders search address redirected to a technical-difficulties notice, so start on the board's own site and use the general contractors search for that license.
Read the record for an active status and a classification that matches the bid. A city or county can still require its own registration. We are not restating dollar limits; the boards' sites are the source.

Verify this with the board or the city before you hire. Rules change, and a city or county can require its own license on top of a state record. This is general information, not legal advice.
Common questions
- Where do I look up an Alabama contractor license?
- Use the Licensing Board for General Contractors search. For a home builder, start at the Home Builders Licensure Board site. The board search was showing a technical-difficulties page when we checked.
- Does an Alabama business license replace the contractor license?
- No. A local business license is not either of these board records. Open the board search and match the legal name on the contract.
