Arizona Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors licenses contractors. Its before-you-hire page says an entity must be licensed to be a contractor in Arizona, and that a bond is part of getting licensed. It also says the Registrar does not require liability insurance in order to be licensed, aside from workers' compensation. Check the license class against the work in the contract.
That same page describes a residential recovery fund and says a residential property owner may receive up to $30,000 under the fund's conditions, with each residential license covered up to $200,000. Those figures and the conditions are the Registrar's. Read the page before you rely on them.
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.

- Does an Arizona license mean the contractor has liability insurance?
- The Registrar says a bond is required to be licensed, and that liability insurance is not required for the license, other than workers' compensation. Ask for a certificate and confirm it with the insurer.
